2006-07 NFHS Basketball Rules Interpretations SITUATION 10: The score is tied at the end of regulation time. During the intermission between the fourth quarter and the beginning of the overtime period, the official scorer advises the referee that A1′s three-point goal earlier in the fourth quarter was recorded in the scorebook improperly as a two-point goal. The referee verifies the mistake. RULING: The game is over and Team A has won. Since the ball had not yet become live in the overtime period, it need not be played. (2-11-11; 5-3; 5-7-4) |
And It's Approved, Not New And Approved, Just Approved ...

Sounds like everything was correct and others have already pointed out the correctable score issue. And I have no intention of asking about a "corner of Connecticut" or how one goes about getting that pictogram image. :D |
I'm poinitng at the ground when the shot is taken (shows up on film that we didn't just make s*** up after the fact) AND showing two points to the table as we turn to go the other way.
|
I also point to the ground with two fingers and then if made show it to the table and say "two" loud enough for the table to hear. Authorized mechanic? Probably not, but it gets the point across that it is definitely a 2.
|
I agree with most everyone and would also signal 2, but as the OP noted, it would have been better if (and should have been) caught immediately by the officials. If the shot is close and the players react as if it was a 3, you have to get a glance at the scoreboard to make certain the score is recorded correctly.
|
is it possible to over-communicate with the table in these type sits?

FWIW, I've also been holding two fingers while looking at the table (not more than a second or two) after such a made shot. I honestly can't speak to whether it's approved or not. |
Yes, it's from the IAABO manual.

I'm not sure why some have said they would be "discreet" in holding two fingers up for the table to see. You want to make sure the table, the players, the coaches, the fans, the video, and your assignor who will watch the game later on video (after the coach calls to complain that "everyone thought it was a 3") sees that it is a two-point shot. This situation calls for ANYTHING but being discreet. |
I believe your official scorer could've been of some help in this instance too.I'm going to look for one of three things in this situation-
A.Hands in the air noting a made 3 point shot. B.Two Fingers at the waist. C.No signal given (assume a two point basket) In this case I would've seen the point to the ground mechanic from the trail and once the ball goes through the net said "2,2" so that the clock operator,visiting scorekeeper,and myself are on the same page.This one is tough because it is correctable but there was no dead ball prior to the go ahead basket.If I had a dead ball between shots then I would ask "Hey ____________, just to clarify was the last shot for _______ a 2 or 3? Answer in this case would be a two, we'd make the adjustment on the board and finish the game out. |

Was the scorer's table court level or a couple of rows up in the stands? |
