Hmmm...

I was going to make a comment here about the officials including scorers and timers (plural), but then I checked the NFHS book, and only the singular are listed in 2-1.

When did they sneak this change in?

The NCAA book still says (I'm pretty certain of this) something like "... two scoreres and two timers.... One of each may be used if acceptable to the R"
