1) Make sure the timer is posting the score in a timely fashion. 2) Inform the official(s) if/when you are getting too much chatter from the coaches.

The regular scoreboard I am used to only copies player fouls if they get inputted. Otherwise, just have to press score+1 (+2 or +3), no need to input individual player info. I always post the points as they happen, unless of course ruling on the court disallows the points.

Get the scorer a couple of stopwatches (one for game clock, another as a TO/Intermission timer).

I love how a thread about suggested NFHS rule changes is being dominated by all things, scoreboard operating....

The scoreboard is just a formality to keep fans knowing about the game. In all reality it is not needed.

Now if I had any say in rules changes, I would get rid of us having to be the fashion police. Safety related things....yeah, we should be on that, but uniform color, specifications, arm band color, head band color, undershirt...leave that to the head coach or the state.

Who benefits from this? I can't think of anyone whom would benefit. I know you talk about your lower level games and having issues, but I think you overstate how often this happens. I've done my fair share of games at that level and it's 98 percent never an issue. And if there is, it gets corrected real easily. Now if you're talking about foul counts and player counts, I'm not concerned about that at lower levels. Usually only get that at the varsity level consistently and every scoreboard operator that I have worked with at the level knows what they are doing.

Cell phones, friends/acquaintances, kids....there's always something other than the game happening where the fans cannot put their undivided attention on the game. Same thing can be said of any sporting event/concert, no one really sees the whole thing due to some sort of distraction. By not having the points posted, would make the fans have to put more attention into what's happening on the court.

If you don't keep the score showing, you're just making a less fan friendly atmosphere. And instead of allegedly not having fans pay attention (by your assertion which I think is silly), you might just have fans not decide to go.

So would setting the court on fire and releasing tigers onto the floor. Both of those options woiuld probably be more acceptable than removing the score from the SCOREboard.
