If I'm the furthest away official, I'm noting numbers and having the scorer jot them down for me.

Meanwhile, notice that the home AC held her players back from going on the floor. If I'm the home team, I'd certainly be asking whether flagrant Ts are going to the visiting bench personnel who went on the floor. That rule change where head coaches come on the floor in situations like this is a good one, IMO.
As for the C, I wonder why he hung back well after the whistle was blown. I've certainly had my "I can't believe I'm seeing that" pauses, but the new T isn't the only one that should be stepping in, especially with the C so much closer.
One thing for sure. The way those girls were posturing with "dukes up" form, they've certain done this before!
