Alright all you referee junkies, here's the situation:
Here's the Question~
Have you just contributed to a healthy flow by not rubbing salt in the wound of Team B and showing off your rules knowledge, or have you committed a serious breach of ethics by setting aside a rule?

Ill let you be your own judge.
What I would have done is walk over to the table and ask the scorer(s) what is going on. This in a polite, but a little louder than normal, voice while pointing to the scoreboard. If they say it is 7 then in that same polite voice I would tell the clock that he should have signaled you when he changed the 6 to 7.
As for coach B, that is his problem. A situation has occurred that is a violation of the overall rules of the game, any game for that matter. I would be more inclined to apologies to coach A for this. In fact I would even call both of them to the table and explain what is what and shoot the 1 and 1. This is not a judgment call or an advantage/disadvantage call; it is a situation that must be corrected.

RecRef,
The onus is on the State's scorekeeper(s).
A double-check was made at the table and the book is official.
Had the scorekeeper buzzed,then we deal with it.
Who says the State's clock operator is correct?
The losing coach would be bad-mouthing the tournament as entirely incompetent with the timer and the scorekeeper both screwing it up, while he takes everything out on the official.
Now if this occured in Florida, it may a be totally acceptable practice.
