For the record my only concern is the scorekeeper, if they are wrong we have more problems than the PA guy.

Dont see this as asking too much. We regulate where we stand for a time out and whether you all have all black shoes or all have some white in them.. What's more important, stuff like that or an individual foul call being accurate?

If a scorer can't understand 14 and one-four as being the same thing just coming from two different officials, we have a bigger problem to worry about.

I've worked with a few guys this season in HS games who reported with two hands whereas I only do that when working college games. They managed just fine at the table.

It is when the numbers of officials are high. I cannot speak for you but we have nearly 6000 officials statewide. It would be really hard to get everyone to the exact same way of thinking on many issues, let alone report the exact same way when the officials might have never met each other previously. And no we do not have associations that assign games and dictate every little detail. That is why I said that it is kind of silly to expect that much uniformity on one night.

Try using one handed reporting to report a foul on NBE player Nicolas Batum of the Trailblazers who wears number 88.

I hate it when I have to take off my shoes and socks to report a foul. It's a real game interrupter.

Your partner hates it too when he has to put in his noseplugs.
