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.

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.

Would I still get paid?



There is a high school AD in a league where I work who takes it upon himself to just change the rules to fit all of the games in before the scheduled varsity tip off. Typically they have a FG game and FB game scheduled 45 (!!!) minutes apart. Then a JVB game an hour after the FB game and then the Varsity an hour after the JVB. He will attempt to change the amount of TO's a team has, go to running time despite the score, change the amount of time in the quarter, limit the use of TO's. And boy is there hell if you question him on it. Needless to say, I don't work there any more.
