foul count

[crosscountry55]

I agree that I'd at least wait until the next stoppage of play. If you've got a capable table and its early in the game when you're not too concerned about bonus free throws or players fouling out, I probably make a mental note and wait until the next time out or intermission (and I'd politely tell the coach that, too). If it's later in the half/game when this stuff starts to matter, then I might go clear it up more quickly.

There's another reason to not wait too long. We've all been in that situation where table personnel are either suspect or certifiably dysfunctional. In that case, at the next stoppage of play, I might go to the table to clarify as well as make eye contact with the scorer(s). When everyone in the gym notices that the scorers are responsible for the delay, that's often motivation to prevent future concentration/communication lapses.

Of course, there's always that college freshman at your camp game who spends more time with a cell phone in his hand than a pencil. There's no fixing that....
