I tweet and end the qtr. home coach starts to cry a lil bit i explain I counted ,he leaves it alone.

The scoreclock operator was the home team varsity coach. I start walking towards table and he has got this little smirk on his face, like a kid with his hand in the cookie jar......

Why would you not have asked for a new scorer/timer before you got to the sticky sitchs at the end.
