I've had scorekeepers who start recording the foul (making the assumption that they know who I'm calling it on) before I get over to the reporting area... even without the whole "raised hand" thing. And yes, at one point it caused a problem when the scorekeeper had a star player's 5th foul when the team's coach thought it was his player's 4th. (Home team, in this case, so I told the coach we had to go by what the official book said and that if he had a problem with it, he should make sure the scorekeeper pays attention). Luckily, it was a 7th grade game with about 20 seconds left, so no major harm done.
As a consequence, I now tell the scorekeeper at every game that I will make eye contact with them and that they should not record anything until AFTER I make my report.
