It was for reasons like this that I did the thread on how the table should be set up. As before this year, when I was doing the Sub-V games, the books would always be right next to their benches. It's also been cause of the books being next to their benches (& lack of proper training) that when I'm Scoreboard Operator/Timer, that I've been doing the AP instead of the scorer.

The shot clock is next to the home bench, with the visiting scorebook next to their bench. However yesterday, the Home JV Coach disliked the setup and said that his scorebook was to be next to the bench, so technically the Home JV Coach was going against rules/regulations by not having the Official Scorer taking care of the AP. Could this be considered a T for not following through with rules/regulations?

In this setup during the V games, it's the official scorer that does handle the AP as per rules/regulations.

As I mentioned in an earlier post, for the V games, the scorer does actually physically control it. Though, isn't there a bit of an argument there about who is to be physically in control of the AP? In "Instructions to & Duties of the scorer for basketball games" states under equipment: "Scorebook, pencils, possession arrow & signaling device with sound different from that of the timer. The scorebook must be available for inspection at the table from 10 minutes prior to game time until the referee has approved the final score." Under During the course of the game, it states: "1. The nonofficial scorers should check each entry with the official scorebook. 2. The scorers should: a. Announce to each other & record the total running score. b. Announce the name & number of the player who scores. c. Verify the scoreboard score. d. Compare the summary of individual scores with the total running score at the end of each half. e. Exchange the name & number of the player committing a foul & indicate the total fouls charged to the player. f. Be responsible for the alternating-possession arrow. g. Record warnings reported by an official. 3. In case of controversy, the record of the official scorebook is accepted unless the referee has knowledge which permits him or her to rule otherwise."

As I said, "responsible" doesn't necessarily mean physically moving it. While it may or may not be a best practice, depending on your set-up, it's not required. Around here, the arrow is often located directly in front of the clock console; meaning the timer has it like it or not.
Aside from all that, there's no prescribed penalty for failing to adhere to all of this. You certainly couldn't penalize the coach for making his wishes known, even if they're followed. It's nothing, live with it and move on.

You can solve the books not sitting next to each other and the coach's request to have the book at his end by putting the books on one "level" of the table, and the clocks on another. |

Speaking of the "X" on the floor, like I mentioned above, since the Boys' V game that Rookiedude officiated, the "X" has been there in front of the official scorer via athletic tape on the floor. I requested a meeting with the HS Principal via e-mail before the games yesterday, since he was out sick, I met with the vice-principal. I mentioned about the "X" on the floor, he mentioned that plans are in place to redo floor markings & that have an "X" in either purple or gold could be placed in front of the official scorer, instead of using the athletic tape like now. I had a supplement to the meeting with some rules/regulations excerpts concerning my observations that I wrote & printed out that I handed to the Vice-Principal. He was actively concerned about my observations. Just now gonna wait & see what transpires.
