Coaches standing in box

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.

True, but then the majority of the training I have is from when I was doing JV & C-Squad scorebook, so then I was watching the player numbers real closely as well as the ball. Basically I've extended that training into scoreboard/timer & shot clock. Although I've been working on going off of sounds as well, considering like it was mentioned earlier, it can be easier to hear a whistle than see the signal in traffic.

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.
