If you want to take it that far, would the opposing coach even want someone from the home school working the table? How about someone from the surrounding area that might have some ties with the school?

There's a reason both books are located at the table near enough other and that officials will make sure both books are matching w/their information at the end of quarters. There's also a reason that the rules gives the officials the authority to designate the other book as the official or remove the old scorer IF that issue arrises. But I would say that at the varsity level, scorers, no matter their allegiances, tend to be pretty professional in carrying out their duties.
