Generally agreed, but (a) maybe he meant it was identified before the throw in was complete, even if the whistle didn't get blown in time, and (b) you don't want to get in a argument with your partner on the court

Generally agreed, but given that the number was wrong to begin with, setting all the correct number seems like a good idea. Also, the officials should be aware of the number (especially of 30s -- it's not that hard to count to 2)

Yes to all of the above Bob. Except I didn't realize until after the throw in was complete. Something didn't seem right with the timeouts as both had used a few of each, that is what made me ask the scorers' table what the deal was.

I was sitting on the bench doing stats for our varsity girls on Thursday night at an away game.Watching this table work was like watching Amateur hour at the comedy club.In the first 4 minutes we had at least a half dozen stoppages for clock issues.The boys game was relatively clean except for a dispute over 2/3 point shot and the clock operator not starting the clock with 4.5 seconds to go in the fourth in a two point game.
