[QUOTE=Toren;807187]What am I full of beans about?

This: "Correctable errors are errors caused by officials. These are our errors."

Officials rely on the scorekeeper to provide accurate stats. I make decisions based on what they tell me. If I'm told a team has committed 7 fouls in the first half, then I start administering free throws in the appropriate situation. I'm not going over to the book at that point and physically count the 7 fouls myself to make sure the score keeper can count. You have to trust them with a lot of important information: time outs, foul count, player numbers, subsitutions etc. Most CE's are not caused by the officials, the error begins with a mistake made by the scorer which leads the official down the wrong road. I have definitely made some mistakes that weren't related to the scorekeeper, believe me I can foul things up by myself!
