I know ADA almost inside & out. Like I mentioned, I am hoping that I don't have to bring it up.

Being that I am getting SSI shows that I have disability also the fact that I have authorization for disabled parking privliges. This happened before the injury.

Technically & legally if a person doing scorebook is confined to a wheelchair due to health, they must be allowed access to the scorers' table.
Fair enough, but if your inability to access it due to health is temporary (defined by 6 months), I think you'd be hard pressed to hold them to making accomodations for you that are, well, temporarily needed. And if you don't normally work in the "big gym" for varsity contests, I wouldn't expect to be able to force them to make accomodations to promote you.

And, FWIW, I'd quickly find a way to replace a shot clock operator/scorer/timer who thought he was indispensible.
