I thought it was the Gospel of Jurassic, Chapter 1, verses 19-21?

Thanks for the idea of writing a book about table operations, now I just need to find some co-Authors.

I'll Co-Author however we'd still need a few officials to assist with rules citations & game situations.

Although I'm in the process of becoming an official.

Just this year alone I've seen my fair share of bad scorers, & have even had to coach them while working as timer.

Yeah I realize I rarely am on here, I like observing more than anything.

It's not for a lack of trying.

If/when that happens, that just means one less person for table operations.

What about the two available instruction sheets on the NFHS site, one for the timer, and one for the scorekeeper? I've carried copies with me for years, and use them to train officials so they will know what to review with the table crew during their meeting at the table, pre-game.
At an officials camp, years ago, one ot the evaluators had the nature of stopping one or the other official and asking: "Without looking at the scoreboard, what's the score? How much time is left? What's the foul count? Which team scored last? What kind of score was it - 2, 3, or free throw? Who gets the next AP?"
It's part of our work to be aware of those elements during the game, and especially in a close score.
Also, I get the first name of the three members of our table crew, at the beginning of the game. It really helps to address them by name, and seems to help them feel the importance they have to be part of our crew for the night.
Near the end of a close game, I may check with them several times to be sure that everything matches in the two books, and with the scoreboard. We all know that the R has to approve the final score, and to me, that task implies that I've been aware, and reviewing it's progress throughout the contest.

Actually I was thinking of Steve Austin. He could pull out his taser and give the bad guys a stone-cold stunner.

It all started as an infant when Kal-El was rocketed to Earth by his father Jor-El to escape the disintegration of Krypton, and landed in a corn field in Kansas. Changing his name to chseagle, he was raised....

It's true, it's true....
