I just surmised that and made a comment about it in the other thread that you started this morning. Go check it out.

We should probably bounce this discussion back over to that thread instead of continuing to highjack this one. I feel that we are getting away from the OP's point.

Clarifying: Scorebook's running score and player stats were correct, reflecting the scoring of 4 pts instead of 2.

. . . and yeah, scorekeeper SWEARS (or affirms) never to make this mistake again. Incidentally, your advice to absolutely get the running score correct before marking the player stats is exactly what the officials last night advised her.

So how does she go the whole 4th quarter or however long it was marking up two more points on the line than are shown up on the board and never have it click with her when she looks up? Did she never look at the scoreboard or did she not read the number that she was putting the mark through in the book?

I'm just baffled here that it would go undetected for so long?

PS Where are your fans? You know the "helpful" ones who always scream "The scores wrong! We didn't get our points." They needed to make some noise for you.

To me, the bigger question is, "in a one-point game, how is it that no official went to the table in the final 2 minutes to ask if the book matched the scoreboard?".

Inexcusable.

See post #5.

Where are my fans?

yeah - my question, too. I know they usually SCREAM at the officials when it takes longer than a nano-second to get the points up on the board.

Believe me, I have wondered exactly what you ask - but there is just no answer. Anyone "can't imagine" how it happened (she is quite experienced and reliable), but it did. Yeah. . . . I'm pretty sure she'll be all over it for the rest of the year.
