Let me guess - the officials were reporting fouls like "one-five" and not "fifteen" and you only heard the second number.

Well handled! How many areas require the referee to initial the book below each teams last listed player as a method of checking for duplicate #'s and number of players? Just about every varsity official in my area does it. In my varsity games I prep the girls book myself the night before using maxpreps.com to get the other school's roster. The boys book is already prepared by an assistant coach (also using maxpreps.com) so it is already checked for duplicate #'s.In our league everybody has correct information on this site.

I think that's right, but even so everyone else at the table gave it to #15. Last night definitely wasn't one of my better nights at the table.

This is a situation of us taking the book for granted before the game. We need to take the extra 2 minutes to check the book the right way.
