While he's wrong, I wouldn't argue too much. Just report it to your state org for them to deal with after the game.

I didn't argue it... because I wasn't even notified of it. I didn't know about it until after the game when I noticed the names whited out of my book. So I asked my scorekeeper who told me the referee told him to do it. I am going to report it to the state org just so it isn't done again. Thanks for the help.

Be prepared for them to back his move. They may want it enforced that way. If they do, and you're in Colorado, let me know.

Isn't the Centennial State IAABO? Are they still using that stupid 2005 IAABO refresher exam interpretation? Even though, locally, we don't follow that idiotic interpretation, we, at least those of us here in my little corner of Connecticut, have never been "officially" informed by the "international office" of any other more rational interpretation. I have never seen the NFHS 2009-10 interpretation posted by JetMetFan.

What would have made this even worse is if the player you weren't sure was feeling well enough to play actually decided to play. Then what would the official have done? He would've had a tough time explaining to you and the opposing coach why a player, who was originally in the scorebook, had been removed and then was put back in the book.

One of my mentors - who is now one of my assignors - told a bunch of us years ago that sometimes we're our own worst enemies on the court because we think too much.

...

Coach would have been covered b/c he provided a roster with that player's name and number.

By rule he would have been covered...but then, by rule the name could have stayed in the book...

Does it matter if the player is in street clothes behind the bench and you are not intending on playing him because of injury?

Also, if the state backs the ref that's fine... I just want to know the rule for future reference.
