Apparently both books (I know home book is official) had the score 63-60 in favor of the guests.

Is that the final outcome? Or is it what it is when the officials left the floor? What if it the books had discovered it had been tied after regulation? You don't go back out for OT, do you?
The guests win 63-60.

The home book is the official book. NFHS rule 2-11-11. The official book can't be changed after all officials leave the visual confines of the playing area. NFHS rule 2-2-4.

Rules rulz. And if the home team or league doesn't think so, let them sort it out.

Howinthehell could the table let the scoreboard get so far outa whack?
