Biased Table

I've been at a game where either the scoreboard operator or the official book keeper(Don't remember which) would shake the head disapprovingly when the official made a foul call that they didn't like. At halftime the official talked to game management and told him to have him stop or remove him from that position. This was HS boys varsity game.

I had the exact same thing hapen to me this year durring a double header. Between games I told game management that the scorekeeper needed to be replaced. After explaining the situation to the AD his response was "How 'bout if the guy just keeps his mouth shut?" Although "keeping his mouth shut" wasn't really the problem, I thought it cover the situation so I agreed that this would be acceptable and we had no further problems. This was JV/V games.
