So because you had a scorer screw up once, you'll never follow the rule to notify the coach again? Yeah, that makes sense. :-) You have said before that in your games, the scorer usually notifies the coach directly.... I don't see how if the situation is any better if the coach is pissed off at the scorer than at you... in fact, it's probably worse. If a referee is afraid to go near the bench to notify a coach that they are out of time-outs, as required by rule, there must already be a problem between the coach and the ref. Don't blame poor game management on a rule that you choose to ignore or call everyone who can manage the situation smoothly a "rulebook referee." That's cowardly.
