The table screwed up and the teams allowed them to screw up without saying anything before. That simple. Not about the rule being fair IMO. If you are on top of this you would be raising the flag before we shoot the FT. Considering that is not a common complaint, I might listen and try to investigate.

Yes I try to monitor the scoreboard, but it has been wrong so many times in my career I ask but they ultimately tell me where we are.

Peace

JRutledge is correct. The offended team, especially their scorekeeper, bears some responsibility.

JRutledge "might" listen. I'm always listening and never ignoring any complaints about team fouls, bonus, or "double bonus". Even some "mumbling" will get my antennae up.

Of course, four years of doing mostly middle school games (post arthritis, post day job retirement, afternoon availability) will do that to me (students at the table, no team fouls on scoreboard).

I do not need you to summarize my comments. I made my comments rather clear in what I said. If you have questions or comments about what I said is fine, but it feels like you have to approve the comments made by other posters. This is getting really old and needs to stop. We all have our process and my process does not have to be approved by anyone. You can take it or leave it. But either way, the rule is clear and if this happens there are ways to try to prevent it from all sides. But once it happens, we are stuck under the rules.

Peace

Agree. Lots of things had to go wrong, from lots of stakeholders, for a correctable error to occur.

Agree 100%. We can't make up rules as we go along.

I will often work the scoreboard for our freshmen games. I find myself asking after every foul to make sure the player total and team total match up. Sometimes there is 1 book, sometimes there is 2. It is my responsibility to hopefully not add any extra things to the officials plate.

Thank you for your due diligence.

Had a freshman game yesterday. Site director (school system's version of an athletic director) on the clock/scoreboard, and the regular varsity scorekeeper (who's been there decades, was the previous site director) on the (single) scorebook. Seventh heaven for me.

Non-officials can't possibly appreciate how important a good table crew is to having a good game.
