What's wrong with you guys?

OK, just to make one thing clear here - I was not "yelling from the stands". I was at the score table, keeping the book. I politely asked them to make sure they had the correct players number. I am not a disgruntled parent. I also sat and watched the boys game immediately after (in which I do not have a kid playing), and was almost as schocked at some of the calls in that game as ours (even though they had two completely different officials).

So whatever, I was just trying to make the point in my original post, that I was appalled that the officiating could be so bad. I was hoping to get suggestions on how we can be better and make sure a game like this doesn't happen again. Guess no one cares about that, rather just attacking me.

Merry Christmas.

Kris, I'm glad you came back to clarify. As I said before, some of us are not very good at this & even those that are have an off night every now & then. Tough to watch. (As bushref demonstrates some of us are not good at a lot of things but that's a whole 'nuther fruit cake. )

But if you are at the table doing the book you cannot question a foul when it's reported, and you were way out of line telling the official to go back & get the correct number. The *most* you can do by way of 'questioning' the official is to have the scorekeeper hit the horn & tell the official you didn't get the number he gave. When he repeats the number it's your job to write it in the book with *no* editiorial comment.
