Players on the floor after 2Q, different in 3Q

[ref3808]

So how did our colleagues handle it?

Would anyone think to say the onus is on the coach to provide information that confirms his assertion? Since was the home coach complaining, is this something they set up?

That is why there is too much thinking on this issue. Play with who comes out there and let us move on. If I have to actually question the integrity of the coach on an issue like this every time, we have bigger problems.

They blew the whistle and the teams played on, much to the consternation of the HC.

The scorer involved said that it would be too difficult to keep track of this, since there's no place to put it in the scorebook. According to him, he's got to add up points for the quarter and verify other "stuff" and therefore has no time to do it.

This was my argument in our meeting. "What if he was up to some shenanigans." If this comes up in my game I think my response would be that he would have to prove it for me. I don't want him to be able to pick the lineup for the other coach. The best solution some of us came with was to ask the coach "Are these the same players that ended the quarter?" thus putting it on him.

For me, this is all on the scorer. If the scorer can't tell me who finished the last quarter, I'm not trying to remember. And that will be the end of my detective work.
