What would be the point of this rule change? Coaches would never go for this because they want to know the exact score when possible and not have to ask the scorer. As an official, I want to know the score...especially in late game situations. As a fan, I shouldn't have to keep a running score myself.

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.
