When does a 52-51 victory go into the books as a 59-57 overtime loss?

Interesting. Bob, was this your game?

Looks like the officials did it the right way, given what they had to work with.

That would have prevented the error in this situation. |
Yeah, but then you would have had a different problem. You would have had to inform one team that while they thought they were heading to overtime, the game is over and they lose.
Have them triple check the score at some point in that last minute, so you avoid it even sooner. |

Sounds like poor communication between the scorebooks, scoreboard/timer, & officials.
Just my 1 cent. |
Brings up a point...
When I'm R, at halftime, and towards the end of the game when I get a chance to get over there I ask the official scorer: "Is everything ok with the book?" Is that all I can do? Could I ask a better question? What do you ask? |

Not always are personal fouls tracked by the scoreboard, sometimes it's just team fouls that are tracked. Should it be mandatory that both personal & team fouls be tracked by both scorebook & scoreboard? Or just stay with team fouls tracked? Not always do the scorebooks keep track of the possession arrow. |

The scorer should track the A/P. It's one of their duties and is in fact not a duty of the timer. The scorer is responsible for the arrow at the table. |

Make a bet with them on how many times it\'ll be used during the game.
