The scoreboard is a representation of the scorebook. If they don't match, I agree, it's up to the table to fix it or get the officials' attention before they leave.

The officials are leaving because they believe the score is NOT tied. Once they're out of the room, the score is IN FACT not tied.

As for advice to the losing coach: get a better scorekeeper. My state wouldn't do anything about this outcome, and I think few would.
