Wrong again, you and JAR are not doing very well. Junior did not play.

What is up with you incouraging parents to approach officials and tell them what they think?

We're not doing very well??

Who is the one sitting around fretting about the possibility of fouls being improperly charged in a 7th grade basketball game.

"We're" - for who else do you post?

Not a possibility, fact. I have seen other posts about fouls wrongly scored/marked and whether they can be fixed and what is required to fix this sort of error. (SamIAm keeping stats was not on the list).


Not fretting, looking for possible solutions. (Wrong twice more - you stink at this.) An additional issue that could come up with the numbers is, if the players are listed "three in a row" in the book, a simple marking error could account for fouls being marked for the wrong player.

(As of this point, this horse seems to be motionless. That is how I will treat it.)

I post for no one else, but you lumped us together.

I fail to see why it is not possible for the scoring error to be in your favor.

Much better to have 3 top players available with foul counts of 4,3,3 at end of game than only two top players with fould counts of 3,2.

Why couldn't the mistake result in a foul count of 4,3,2 instead of 5,3,1?

I actually have a similar story. A local jr. high had twin girls, who happened to be two of the "good" players on the team, #'s 24 and 42. Late in the game, the official charged a foul to 42, which was actually on 24. 42 was nowhere near the play. Just so happens it was the fifth foul on 42. After much discussion, the call stood. 24 actually picked up her 4th a little later, but went on to finish the game. I suspect the offended parties failed to mention this when they told the story later. The twins and their team hung on to win the game.

The kicker is that after the game the twins' father went to the opposing coach to complain. "Well, we won even though you cheated!"

Would a trip by both to the little girls room and a uniform switch be a possibility?
