Just my opinion on the issue.
I completely agree. The AP direction is the responsibility
of the floor officials, their "opinion" has more weight
than what is written in the book or on the scoreboard/table arrow. If the scorer insists I'm wrong & he's right he's
going to have to convince me that I'm wrong before I'll change it. And I agree we should keep the arrow in our head
as opposed to rubber bands & whistles in pockets.
