Q from 1st Year: Trouble with the Scorer
JV Boys game. Kid doing the official book is not the sharpest tool in the shed.
Partner and I have both noticed sometimes he's not even looking at us when we go to report.. I am R and have been checking the book during the game. When I had this kid a couple of weeks ago I taught him how keeping a running score was really important. Anyways, 4th quarter, game is pretty close, I report foul on player A1. Kid responds with "5 on A1". Opponents book says, "well then, we have a problem, I only have him with 3 fouls". I go to home book and ask him to count total fouls, they match up. Team A coach says the guy doing his book has done it for 3 years without a mistake. Hrm. I believe my knuckleheaded official scorer has made an error, but I didn't think that I had any options. I tell Team A coach that I have to go with official book, need a replacement player for DQ'd A1. Tell Team A scorer to sit with official scorer to avoid discrepancies. Question: Did I have any option other than going with official book? During the game I had asked official book if running score in book matched scoreboard and whether team fouls on the scoreboard were correct. At least once I asked Team A book if we were all matched up (even though I just did that as a courtesy). |
