I was always under the impression that when there's the bonus indicator on the table that it follows the AP.

The Varsity Scoreboard/Timer has been doing the team benches.

Just trying to figure out which way is the correct way.

I don't know if there is a "correct" way to do this, but I would prefer it to follow the AP protocol and be lit on the side towards the team's basket. Therefore, it would be on the opposite side from their bench during the first half of play.

Around here the light is on pointing toward the basket. About once a year I find a table that does it the other way. When I gently correct them, they always seem to look at me like I'm crazy.

Speaking of APs, what's the best AP you've seen?

What's the worse AP you've seen?

The best for me would be any of the light boxes on the scorers' table that has a toggle switch on it.

The worse would be the the that's being used in the secondary gym at my alma mater, a wooden arrow that spins around whenever the table gets bumped that has athletic tape on it to be more clearly seen.

Best: Dancing girls. It's best when they use the cast of Howie Mandel's game show.

Worst: A pencil. I wish I was kidding.
