If I forget to start the clock, then I'm asleep at the controls & shouldn't be there at that time. If I forget to stop the clock, it's gonna be fans & coaches yelling at me due to not being able to see &/or hear the whistle/signal to stop the clock.

This makes me chuckle every time you say it. As if it is by choice that you "leave it up to the officials...."

With having the 2 coaches standing at the same time, I didn't quote the rulebook nor mention anything about what the penalty is. However, right before the Boys' Varsity game, the officials did give a warning to the visiting team before tip-off that only the head coach had box privleges, no one else.

It was the same crew that did the Boys' C-Squad game.

I know I should have said something, but the expressions were straight out of a well acted porno movie. The inner dog within me just enjoyed my scorekeeper.

I felt so ...dirty.

Did you have trouble running?

Like, "Hey, bring me a water little fella." Or more appropriately, "You are to bring me a water at each quarter break, those are your instructions."

Nobody is indespensible, well almost nobody. No scorer? No problem, just bring down someone's Mom who knows the game outa the stands, show her what the buttons do, and we'll get by. No coach? Not a problem, The AD can fill in, or the Principle, play ball. No players? That could be a limiting factor. No game officials? One shows up, lets play. None at all, we got a liability problem, game canceled.

Leave him alone, he's in the process of getting a clue. Hows he supposed to get a clue if he can't act clueless?
