Illegal Substitute?

The problem is is that the scorekeeper in the original post of this thread was a little to slow in informing the officials about the problem. That's what makes this so much fun.

A competent scorekeeper at the table makes the rule really easy to interpret, and, or course, a lot less fun.

A competent scorekeeper makes mistakes just like compentent officials make mistakes.

Now if you are saying a "perfect" scorekeeper would make the case easy, that makes no sense. A perfect scorekeeper would mean there is no need for the case play.

I disagree. The official reported the foul and then granted a timeout. From the OP, it sounds like the scorer informed the official as soon as she could.

Further, there's nothing in the OP that prevents the T from being issued.

Now, really, haven't we beat this to death" Please, let it go.

Either way, I'm done.

BktBallRef: I agree with your interpretation 100%. Santa Referee will certainly fill your stocking with lots of Fox 40's, Reebok Zigs, and all the concession stand hot dogs that you can eat. Merry Christmas.
