The person that asked for the buzzer? What person might that be?

Normally it was one of the scorebooks, this happened when I was still wet behind the ears & was still learning the ins & outs of scoreboard/timer duties & responsibilities. (There were a couple of times, I pressed the horn by accident when was trying to place finger elsewhere on scoreboard controls )

They were asking for the horn to sound cause of not reporting the foul in the book like they should have in a timely matter.

Anymore I tell them to get the information from the other book, or they'll have to wait for the next dead ball. Sometimes I'll be nice & relay what was reported for them to record.

In other words, I learned quickly when the horn should & should not go off.
