I wasn't necessarily referring to the initial post, but if I am not mistaken I have heard others refer to keeping up with it, and overruling the arrow when necessary.

I've overruled the table on this. I've had cases where the table has obviuosly missed one, because they're wanting to give it to the team who just got it. Just had it today, actually.

I've questioned the table many times. "Hey, we just had one going that way."
It has never failed to work out. "Oh, yeah, forgot to change it." "Oh, didn't see the signal on that last play." etc. But, I'm asking, if you keep up with it the whole game by changing the item in the pocket or whatever, and it comes to pass that you have one thing and the scorer has the other, and the scorer won't back down, what do you do then?

First of all, my pockets are empty when I ref.
Second, if I'm abolutely positive the scorer is wrong, I'm giving it to the team who is entitled to it. I'm not getting into a pi$sing match with the table. I'm putting the ball in play and we're moving on with the game.

I use a ChapStick in my pockets to keep track of possession. I used to use a Hickory Farms beef stick, but I noticed that sometimes female coaches would see it and drool.

The BS detector is screaming right about now. Back when you were keeping a Hickory Farms beef stick in your pocket, there were no female coaches, players refs or anyone else. The few moms who came to your games back then weren't drooling, they were throwing up!

CYO Varsity (7th and 8th) Boys.

We have two quick held balls in succession and the visting coach is convinced I somehow shortchanged his team from a possession.

I told him he could have two of the next three, and without missing a beat, the VHC replied "that works."

I discretely told my timer "of course he was going to get 2 of the next 3 anyways."

No no. He's right. I tried this out at a freshman tournament over the weekend. Mothers in the stands were becoming dehydrated, they were drooling so heavily. It seems that women just really like Hickory Farms.
