What did you approve - book or scoreboard?

That has been answered. The scoreboard is for show. It is the book that you verify. So ... my question is - what exactly did you do when you "checked and verified"? The most important thing you are verifying is the score. How could you look at the book, see V 59, H 59, and say, "All right, great, lets shower!"

Also, assume you did all you could do as as an official - i.e. checked and verified with table personnel that all was accurate before you left visual confines

See previous question. What exactly are you verifying if not the score?

Then, after you had showered and dressed, the coach presents an accurate book that reflects that the score is tied.

It's out of your hands at this point. Prepare for some yelling. At you. Probably by several people.

What does the cooach do?

Report that the officials verified that the score was tied and left anyway.
