With three minutes between halves and in need of a drink of water, I didn't check the book at halftime like I would in a HS game. Wish I or my partner had. So we ended up where we did. Sometimes despite best intentions, you make a mistake. When that happens, there's usually a procedure to follow. I can't think of one in this case, however. So I go back to my original question of "What do you do?" for which I have not yet received any professional opinions or rule/case citations. |

For example, if you shot FTs in the first half, then there must have been at least 10 fouls in the first half -- the second half can be no more than 5. If you didn't shoot in the first half, you must have at least 6 in the second. Maybe the scorer remembers what the numbers were at half-time. |

Scorer was clueless. Couldn't remember a thing under pressure. She looked like she wanted to hide under the table. This was a good and measured response. Thank you. |

There are usually not any rules citations for such an off-the-wall situation. My mindset isn't what should I do if this happens again, my mindset is is how do I ensure this never happens again. Quite sure this will never happen again in any game you do no matter what level it is and how bad the scorekeepers are.

What Do You Mean "Are We In The Bonus?" ...
Low level Catholic middle school game. Parent coerced into keeping score as a last minute replacement. We didn't discover until the middle of the fourth period (when we figured that we should be in the bonus for at least one team) that she was only keeping track of total team fouls, not team fouls by half, and not individual player fouls. We pieced together definite known team fouls for each team that half, told her to start keeping track of individual player fouls, and moved on.

You had it happen more than once to this extent? After it happened the first time did you adjust how you would handle situations in the future?

Sorry, no, it's happened to me once. Now I *try* to remember to check the book at half time to see how many fouls there were in the first half. If it's a scorer I don't recognize, I'll remind them to start counting the 2nd half fouls.

Keep It Simple ...
I don't need all this information. I only need to know when they've used their final timeout, and when they use any additional timeouts.

I make sure the scoreboard count jibes with my memory. If I think something is askew I will have the book verify.
