Numerical order in the scorebook

my buddy then proceeded to put the hurt on the other coach and his team and beat them by about 50.

What a maroon! Seems like the other coach has a bit more to worry about/concentrate on........

Seems like the coach had an official ring him up for it once and wanted to hit the other coach for it.

That makes at least two officials who don't know the rule.

I had a partner this year delay the game because of this. He made them re-do the book in numerical order.

It was, apparently, actually enforced in his previous locale.

well, i think this story kind of relates what kind of a coach we're dealing with here.

the other part that i left out... since opposing team got the ball at the division line instead of having a tip, my buddies team stole the inbounds and had an uncontested layup to go up 2-0 within 5 seconds of starting the game (other team missed both free throws).

Absolutely! I had some adult, seasoned coaches get into an interesting discussion the other night about the ole "wreck league player participation rule." It was embarassing.

Ugh, I hate that. Had a wreck game several years ago where the one coach was being a b*tch about the players participation rule, and the game got delayed for like 5 minutes because they were going back and forth about the one team's best player being in for so many "rounds". Wreck league here divides the quarters into 3 minutes, and every three minutes there is a mandatory substitution and depending on how many players are there that day each player is only allowed to play so many 3-minute periods, and can't be in more than two periods in a row. I had to get the league administrators involved, since they were there watching that day.

I always tell the coaches they have to enter the players into the book in descending order by height.

I'll check the Table Crew Forum page to see what they would suggest we should do
