It was one of the wildest things I've ever seen at a game. Apparently the scorer was bad-mouthing the visiting players as they reported to check in. The varsity guys T'd up the coach and the game went on. Obviously, things were a little tense after that incident.

When I was coaching, I had an incident where the home scorer (we were the visitors) did some talking to our players when they checked in. When I became aware of it, I told the scorer to knock it off. That ended it.

I think those who work at the table need to be reminded that they are officials and need to remain neutral.
I was keeping the book at an AAU tournament and the visitors scorer was all about cheering and booing. A foul was reported and I duly noted it, she thought the kid fouled out and the official came over to sort it out. I think my neutral stance went a long way toward the official going with my book. [I did not say anything to her although I sure wanted to. If you are going to keep the book, shut up about how Johnny is doing or who might be fouling him.]

This was over 30 years ago and I think things were a little bit more lax back then. Today, the coach would be gone, for possibly a career and the scorer would press charges.
