And possession arrow? That's kept at the table -- what it says on the scoreboard is completely unimportant to me.
While I agree with the sentiment, it's probably not a good idea to say something smarta$$ like that to an evaluator at a camp.

I do agree that knowing the exact score is not important...being aware of the score and other information on the board is a good idea.

I would have been within a few points on the score, within about thirty seconds on the time, and pretty close (within one) on the fouls.

Possession arrow? I never get this off the clock, and I'm horrible about remembering unless held balls have been rare.
