Game Over

[SCalScoreKeeper]

This is very simple-Score in the books when officials leave the floor stands.If it is tied play overtime-I agree that a notation on the scorebook and report to your local assignor is also in order.I would be incredibly embarrassed if I was the scoreboard operator and home scorekeeper.Apparently neither of them has the concept of communicating to make sure the board and books match.It is completely unacceptable to be 1 pt off of what the books have let alone 5. If I were AD of the host school both these staffers would be relieved of their duties for some time and possibly permanently.
It also begs the question:Were these students or adults running this table? For the most part schools here (private) use adults in every table position (scorekeeper,scoreboard/game clock operator,shot clock operator).The schools that do use students do a pretty good job for the most part and we rarely have issues with their job performance(usually it comes with the shot clock-did team control exist or not? that sort of thing).CIF-SS,our sanctioning body,requires all table personnel during postseason competition to be adults.Here coaches jump all over us if we give points to the wrong side even when we are in the process of changing it.
