I can say she picked up team fouls (appropriate # of team fouls).If something like this were to happen in a game I was working I can go back and check my team fouls as a second reference.

You're using different Mark V books than we have here. The Mark V books we use here have both Player & Team Foul spaces.

The mark v books we use give all the standard stuff except where it gives team foul # and a space underneath to record the jersey in some books we just have the team foul number to cross off.What I meant to say was that after crossing off the team foul I write the jersey # of the player called for that foul next to the corresponding team foul.

Here's an image of the Mark V scorebook we use around here.

How's this for a scorebook?

Speaking of one rule would like to see changed, let's make all HS games become 16 minute halves (instead of 8-minute quarters) so that players can transition into college ball easier. Also, as I see it, a better scorebook.

That's a stupid reason. IMO of course.

Chseagle,
We use the same book.When I cross out the team foul I record the player's number right next to it as a secondary check.

I honestly can't think of any good reasons to make the change. I can't think of any reasons not to, either.

O ok an additional statistic to see who fouls when, depending on the team foul count.

If you can't think of a reason, then why would you suggest the change?

I don't think your mind WENT blank, I think it's nearly always that way.

If my mind was ALWAYS blank, wouldn't I be a vegetable?

It's like stomping a puppy.

I dunno. Does Mrs. Chseagle water you twice a week?

Obviously.

OTOH If I were a vegetable I'd be forever stuck in a hospital, & wouldn't do anything at games.

Or on message boards. One can only hope.
