What's wrong with you guys?

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.

I'm not so sure of that. As Chuck has mentioned, the scorer is part of the officiating crew. As such, she does have an obligation to get it right. If she sees an obvious error in which player committed the foul, I think requesting the correct number is not out of line if done in the proper manner. I know I've reported the wrong number before.
