Very true about all of the above.

For me it's easy to do all of the above, then of course I am in constant communication with the scorer about the score & the fouls (which as listed below, I have to tell them who scored or fouled at times).

Yes it's a convenience to have the score & fouls posted. However since majority of the games I do are sub-Varsity, sometimes the scoreboard is the most accurate on both the score & the fouls, especially if the scorer is a snot-nosed kid off the street.
