A lot of coaches have assistants who's job it is to track team statistics and keep a book. (BTW there have been times when I trusted the "unofficial" book on the bench more than I trusted the book at the table.) I'm not sure I understand how this particular coach did not have someone he trusts keeping a book for him, especially in such a big game. Also, I can never remember a time, ever, when there was a scoreboard error and at least 1 fan didn't start yelling "Fix the score! Fix the score!" (BTW I had game this year where a mom walked up to the table & started screaming at the scorekeepers because she thought the score was wrong. Of course the score was right and she got her admission ticket invalidated by security.) Anyway seems kinda weird that no one caught the screw up as it occurred, seems even weirder that both books had the missed FT good. I guess the kid who had the unofficial book learned something about copying from his neighbor's paper!
