I did give the benefit of the doubt, & did let it slide for a little bit. However when both coaches were standing side-by-side on a continual basis & obstructing the table's view of the court, after this happening for half of a quarter, is when I mentioned. All I stated was that both coaches were standing at the same time while the ball was live, nothing more.

He believes that he can't see because more than one person is standing and blocking his view.
Not sure what he needs to see. The Trail now chops on end line throw-ins for this very reason. Everything else that the table crew does is on sound. |

As we have the 35-sec. shot clock for boys' games now. The coaches tried doing the same thing during Boys' V, but the officials gave them a warning (I didn't say anything) & they ceased doing it. |

However, I'm having a hard time visualizing the table set up and the angle of view which would cause anyone standing in the team bench area to block the view of the table crew from more than a few feet of the playing court. Consider what happens in the final few moments of close games when the entire bench jumps up to cheer about a play. I don't see this as anything more challenging to the shot clock operator, but I do note the difference in that the situation with an assistant coach isn't a legal action. So the point is that interference which shouldn't be occurring because the person isn't allowed to be in the way should be stopped. |

The 2 coaches were both approx. 6 ft. tall. The sideline in the secondary gym is only 3 ft. from the bleaches to the court boundary. |

Considering even during C-Squad & JV games, the atmosphere can be like a heated rivalry V game (lots of crowd noise, hard to hear the whistle). |

But the first can be corrected at any future point in the game and the second isn't the end of the world if it is missed as long as the running score is kept correctly. |

As of this year, for some unknown reason, the crowds that have shown up for the JV & C-Squads have been noisier & more rowdy. Also it doesn't help that those that are doing the scorebook seem to want to be fans instead of impartial observers. |

Keep up the great work. Maybe you could sell tickets before the game and write it up for the local newspaper after the game also. Just a thought... |

don't you have some widgets to count or something?
What is it with the scorers table guys? Ours seems to believe he's the only one capable of setting up the equipment and plugging it in. About once a season, we set it up for him just to watch him fuss and fret when he shows up 5 minutes before the tip. He'll unplug everything and then plug it back in exactly the way we did it, muttering to his self the whole time. It's obviously a control issue. I've been told that he narrates the entire game out loud quietly, so if you're sitting beside him, it's non-stop chatter. People have asked him to stop, told him it's distracting, but he'll never stop, apparently he can't. Durring our home tournament, we were playing, and while the opponent was in possession of the ball I heard a voice loudly calling out, "7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2," as the shot clock ran down. I looked over at the table and it was him! WTF?!?

I try to get to the gym about an hour before the 1st game to assist with setup, however all I do is assist with getting the scorers' tables setup. Last night was an experiment with the secondary gym table setup. The AD said nothing concerning the setup, so he had no complaints. Basically for my alma mater, the table setup is up to the timer. I just moved the books around to where they were next to each other with the scoreboard/timer & shot clock next to each other. The main gym setup (started operation in 1994) has a scorers' table on the floor with the benches on either side, although this setup has only been in use for the last 2 years. The secondary gym setup (the secondary gym is about 40 years old) has the scorers' table in the middle of wood manual pullout bleachers with the personnel sitting 3 rows up, the benches on either side. |

Your previous comment about "not getting a T" seems to give away your true intent, though. |
