The scorer shall:
ART. 1 Keep a record of the names and numbers of players who are to start
the game and of
all substitutes who enter the game.
ART. 2 Notify the nearer official when there is an infraction of the rules
pertaining to submission of the roster, substitutions or numbers of players.
ART. 4 Record the
field goals made, the free throws made and missed, and
keep a running summary of the points scored.
ART. 5 Record the
personal and technical fouls reported on each player and
notify an official immediately when the fifth foul (personal and technical) is
charged to any player, the second technical foul is charged to any team member,
bench personnel, or directly to the head coach, or the third technical foul is
charged to the head coach.
ART. 6 Record the
time-out information charged to each team (who and
when) and notify a team and its coach, through an official, whenever that team is
granted its final allotted charged time-out.
Not only can we get information from the scorekeeper about who scores, and commits fouls, we can also get information from the scorekeeper regarding all substitutes who enter the game, free throws missed, and who requests, and is granted, a timeout.
So while a participant is sitting on the bench, can we use any of the scorekeeper's information to "force" an addition to the scorebook and charge a technical foul,
like that he was charged with a timeout, that he missed a free throw, or that he was recorded as a substitute who entered the game?
