I do not care what the damn book says if the people you claim should read it have no idea what that is. Just like many coaches do not know what a rulebook looks like, I think even less table people even know what an Official's Manual is, let alone what the NF is. Do you know how many cheat sheets or guidelines many of has seen over the years. I even know officials that give the table a little sheet to cover guidelines and they still screw up basic stuff. Again if table people would not screw up basic stuff like the darn possession arrow, then maybe I would have more faith in their ability to start and stop a clock appropriately outside of the game clock. You cannot be that ignit can you?

Did you get the message this is an officiating site, not one for scorekeepers and timers? When that happens then I will worry about what you want to talk about. ;)

Back on topic:

How often do you see bench personnel with a computer/tablet during the game?

I had the same exact scenario last season (towards the end of the season). Assistant coach sitting on bench with an I-Pad. He said "But I'm just using if to take stats!" Told him I didn't care, that it had the capability to transmit and receive and he couldn't use it.

They "protested" the game...the local Association passed that on to the state. State said that the officials were correct in not allowing it to be used.

That sounds as if there is to be no transmission devices or electronic devices on the bench whatsoever.

Technically 2.1 states that table personnel are officials. The Table Officials are present to assist the game officials.

ISome may look at it as no electronic devices allowed at all.

Very true, also more than likely most table personnel do not know about the rule book.

I've noticed over the past couple of years, that I'm the only table personnel that has reference materials present at the table.

No, it doesn't. It says that the timer and scorer are assistants. Completely different.



Only one looks at it this way, and he is wrong.
