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?

Thanks for bringing up the points I wanted to raise. I tell the table write down the T (direct or indirect) and the time. First, if the game is suspended for some reason or my league needs to look at the scorebook in case something crazy happens the info is easily accessible. Second, I'm dealing with kids 99% of the time and there are days I'm happy to get the personal and/or team fouls recorded. Having them write everything down gets them into good habits.
