Question

This happened in a game earlier this week. Player 1 was called for a foul, the official told the scorers the foul is on player 1. After a couple times up and down the court the official came to the scorer's table and said the foul was actually on player 2, not player 1. The foul was change to player 2. Is the foul changed in the book? I was told by an official last night that once the foul was entered on player 1 it cannot be changed.

I should add that the ref said the foul was on player 1 and the scorer entered the foul on player 1. I was one of the scorers. Some replies make it sound like the scorer was incorrect when all we did was place the foul on the player the official indicated.

Bookkeeping mistakes can be changed anytime. There is no such rule that says this could not be changed when discovered. Only correctable error situations have a time limit and this is not one of them.

NFHS ScoreKeepers Duties

ART. 11 . . . Compare records with the visiting scorer after each goal, each foul, each charged time-out, and end of each quarter and extra period, notifying the referee at once of any discrepancy. If the mistake cannot be found, the referee shall accept the record of the official scorebook, unless he/she has knowledge which permits him/her to decide otherwise. If the discrepancy is in the score and the mistake is not resolved, the referee shall accept the progressive team totals of the official scorebook. A bookkeeping mistake may be corrected at any time until the referee approves the final score. The scorebook of the home team shall be the official book, unless the referee rules otherwise. The official scorebook shall remain at the scorer's table throughout the game, including all intermissions.

Referee's Call - Fix it.

"unless he/she has knowledge which permits him/her to decide otherwise"

That is the key right there. It can be changed.

Change it, over here we do like this:

Scorer finds an error, he signals the official on the next dead ball, official comes to the board and the official changes it, that's a way to make sure the scorekeeper can't be held responsible for any errors when the correcting is done

exception: a point on the wrong team, is corrected by the score keeper right away, he then simply notifies the official during the next dead ball.

Happens all the time, bad scorekeepers (scince all the good one started officiating *lol*)
