Calling All Table Officials

Having two scorebooks at the table, is a checks & balances system.

Several times, in Sub-V games have I gone to both books during halftime & have found some discrepancies in either the score or the foul counts.

Snaq's point is that there's still one official book at both levels. If there's a discrepancy between two books, we always go with the official one unless we have direct knowledge or other mitigating circumstances.

AKA an incompetent scorer or inattentive scorer.

Shoot, some of the college games I've done have had 3 books at the table (in-season tournaments between neutral opponents).

Still waiting to get one of those games....LOL

All my televised games have been high school games broadcast on the local public school access channel. The games where they have to set up a special table in front of the stands for the announcers.

After the scorer didn't tell me that we were in the bonus, which almost led to a correctable error situation, I asked her why she didn't tell me, to which she proclaimed, "It was on the scoreboard".

After the same scorer, in the same game, didn't tell me that a player fouled out, which led to a timeout/no timeout exchange with a coach, I asked her why she didn't tell me, to which she proclaimed, "It was on the scoreboard".

This was an adult, not a student.

One of them would have done his job. One of them would have notified the coach, started the 20 seconds and notified the player.

I feel your pain BillyMac,
I don't understand what is so hard about putting five fingers in the air and asking the clock operator to hit the horn.My student scorekeepers know enough to get the referees attention when a kid fouls out or we reach the bonus.Its ridiculous when an adult does not.
