I heard the same thing at clinics, but I've never seen it in writing in a manual. Citation please. And, by the way, I agree with you.

Do you have anything in writing regarding reporting, "Twenty-four" versus reporting, "Two. Four."? I'm a "Two. Four." reporter.

I know that we're always supposed to listen to bob, but sometimes I'd like to see written citations.

I seem to have gotten into the habit of flipping my hand on all numbers, something I'm going to work on eliminating.

I've also been a "Two. Four." reporter, somewhat without thinking. My other POI for this year, I suppose. Actually, I'm going to hit some varsity games the first part of January and see how the local bigs are doing it.

I've never had it mentioned, but it's been a few years since I went to a camp.

Please keep your personal problems to yourself. Thanks.

FWIW, when I keep score, I find it more difficut to follow if the hand is flipped. It might be that I'm just expecting it not to be (from my "official training"), so the flip is distracting. I don't know if it applies to other scorers.

I've heard many "heated" discussions between D-1 official on "twenty four" vs. "two - four" (and on the need for a whistle at the end of every period). I suspect there's no consensus -- follow the "when in Rome" guideline.
