Response from the Kiddie Section
Understanding I'm not authority on the subject -- after all, I'm only a registered floor official -- I offer this casebook citation, the only relevant ruling germaine to the question:
2.11.11 SITUATION: Team A’s scorebook is the official scorebook for the game. Team A’s scorer is requested by Team A’s head coach to bring the scorebook to the locker room at halftime to review several pieces of information.
RULING: Prohibited; the scorebook shall remain at the table throughout the game, including all intermissions. There is no specific penalty for removing the scorebook; however, if the officials believe the scorebook was removed as an unsporting act, it could be penalized accordingly. (10-1-8; 10-3-6; 10-4-1)
The parenthetical rulebook references included above don't appreciably add anything beyond what the casebook says.
Good "no call". But I hope you gave that table official a good talkin' to.
