I would bet the table got confused about what to do when H scored in the wrong basket and he was telling them "Give them to V. Player #34."

Don't think his comments have to do with you and nothing to do with the bucket you're about to wave off. I think he saw their mistake (whereas, you couldn't possibly have seen, of course).

This was a big gym with the bleachers on top of locker rooms and offices. There was 30 feet from the sideline to the wall and they were sitting along the wall behind the far end of the bench, so I don't see how he would have seen that mistake. But he was talking to me and the table, and right or wrong, he should not interfere with our game, it was our game to screw up or not. And if I needed something cleared up, I would not go to non-officiating officials, again it is our game to crew up or not. I would ask after the game ( or halftime if they are there) their opinion to see if I got it right, but not during a game. This is an official in our association, so I am bring this up to our trainers.
