Absolutely. I make it a point to not begin reporting until I have eye contact with the official bookkeeper. And some games, when it is a young bookkeeper, I may stand there for 10 seconds until one of the other people at the table will nudge the official/home book to have him take notice.

He's scribbling away and I'm standing there waiting and finally the gym gets quiet and eventually the bookkeeper will realize that I have some information that is specifically for him... Look at me, because I'm not going to talk until you do.

This situation was definitely the fault of the bookkeeper and scoreboard operator. They told me and they told the coach that they were the ones that had said the player had 5 fouls - I was only reporting of what they had informed me.

I was just really surprised at the coach's response... he had calmly been getting beat for 30 minutes of game time and suddenly exploded.

Oh well!
