As I have said before, if the only official information on the scoreboard is the time remaining, then what gives coaches the right/privilege to complain about the information on the scoreboard?

Some scoreboards have the same capabilities of the scorebook by keeping track of the active players & player point & foul totals, so that information is not considered official? If that information is not official then why do coaches yell about errors in that information?

2 ways to prevent that.

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.

LMAO The only times I've used a scoreboard so far that has individual player stats on it has been the JUCO Tournament & 3A/4A Regionals.

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.
