Does a running score really need to be recorded? If the player points are recorded, isn't that enough to figure out who wins the game? Just add them up.

Plus, "the scorer shall record ... notify an official immediately when ... the third technical foul is charged to the head coach."

If the scorer is supposed to notify the officials when a third technical foul (direct and indirect) is charged to the head coach, shouldn't he have that information recorded for easy reference?

Scorer is required to keep the running total.
