No 35 on the other team.

If we knew for certain only 4 fouls - what happens to the extra team foul?

1. Review the video tape

Obviously going to the video would not be an option here, but I think the point is that we use all of the resources available to us to get the call correct.

All three books could support the scores with the running score. The home team book was being kept by a frumpy high school kid, the visiting team book was being kept by Billy Bubba in a John Deere cap, The clock/scoreboard was being run by a teacher whom, until the night before, had never done it, and the official book was being kept by a midle aged woman who appeared alert and intelligent. That's what I had to go on.

Agreed. But ...



... OK, but at what point do you move on then? Meaning, are you gonna make the official book find the error or note some justification before changing it? And if he/she can't figure it out, then what?
