Anyone See This Before?
Crush of fans breaks scorekeeper's computer, leads to scoring error in Cornell-Penn - ESPN
Apparently, the final score had to be corrected (having the computer match the book is no big deal). I was more wondering why the scorekeepers would watch video after the game was over and then change scores based on that!

Welcome newbie!
 Who know why nutty scorers do the things they do?

So, instead of the final score being 83-58, it was 83-59? I wonder who in Vegas arranged that?

"Scorekeepers watched video of the finish and decided a 3-pointer by Rob Belcore should have been ruled a 2, and a basket by Dan Monckton at the buzzer should have counted." That's nice, except for the fact that scorers aren't authorized to make such decisions. The value of a shot is clearly the decision of the officials on the court and if the officials gave a signal regarding the counting of the final try, then that decision has to be followed as well. Of course, I can see the scorer making a decision on the final basket if the officials just ran off to get out of the way of the onrushing students. Fortunately, the betting line was not a factor as it was 14, not 24.
