Interesting post...
Tonight, I did a sophomore game in which the hometeam coach informed us of a "last-minute substitution" book-keeper (Regular was sick).
My partner (13 yr vet, who has worked state tourney games) and I were as "polite" as we could be; however, the "sub" was not up to the task. Unfortunately, his ineptness also interefered with the performance of the student-volunteer timer. In this situation, we were forced to track mentally as much as we could which also undoubtedly detracted from our game as well.
Bottom line: Sometimes, more frequently at the "lower level" games, you will need to make those "visits" at the end of each quarter to make sure things go as smoothly as possible.
