That's fine, go right ahead. But you used the word "officials," which includes ALL of us.

"Is that the 10th team foul?"
"No, it's still 1&1."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes."
"Is that what you have, too?"
"Yes sir."

I sure would like to know what the hell I'm supposed to do in that situation. Go over and count the fouls myself every time we have have one, I guess.

When a scorer tells me it's 1&1 and then later tells me it should have been 2, that's the SCORER'S error, not mine. It's not really a big deal but let's get the facts straight. And nothing you can say will change that.

Feel free to take credit for that error if you want to but don't throw the rest of us in there, too.
