"Site Directors" gone wild

[rockyroad]

NewNCref, you can ignore most of what Nevada posted. The part about verbalizing the actual # of the player is good advice, but the rest is just a lack of basic reading skills and a predilection to blame everything on the officials involved in a game. Most of the rest of us got the fact that there were actually THREE books in play here - the official book, team A's book, and the visitor's book. We also understand why you went with two books against one book - especially since the visitor's coach agreed that the official book was wrong. In a regular season HS game, the official book and team A's book would be the same thing and this wouldn't come up. Sounds like you handled it the best you could given the situation...why the "site director" went bonkers is beyond reason. Must have just been one of those days.

Yep, I overlooked the involvement of a scorebook from Team B even though it is clearly mentioned in the first sentence of the OP. I seem to have incorrectly processed those words as a comparison with the book at the table.

That puts more weight behind what NewNCref did. If BOTH coaches want the fouls changed, then I can't see why the game officials or the official scorer would stand in the way of that. That's not to say that the coaches can agree to do anything that they please, for example, I wouldn't allow the coaches to agree that player with five fouls can continue to participate, but this situaiton is certainly within reason.

It sounds like the official scorer has too high of an opinion of herself and got her feelings hurt. Perhaps she felt that she was being personally criticized during the situation. I guess that it all comes down to what was said and how it was presented.

Like I care what some "site director" has to say anyway. Of course, my general bad attitude towards AAU and rec ball in general is why I work a minimal amount of it.

At an AAU sanctioned event? Good luck.

That's fine if they want their schedule messed up, because the game isn't continuing till we get a new score keeper.

Around here there is a better chance that the referee would be replaced.
