When I first started working basketball, which wasn't all that long ago, I was taught that you count the players on your end of the court and let the R know so he can compare that number to what is in the book. Then the R can look at the number of players on the roster, starters, duplicate numbers, etc. I mentioned this in another thread, but a majority of guys I work with now simply pick the book up and have each coach check it and don't count players or anything. I don't really care for this approach because even if the coach checks the book, he is not responsible for the scorer copying names and numbers correctly.
