The above is the best reason not the make a number up. In all levels above JV, the games are videotaped, at least where I work. If you make up a number, the coach will know about it when he reviews the tape and your reputation will go into the toilet. With the amount of input that coaches have into who gets playoff games, the last thing that you need is a coach who identifies you as a liar.

That's a load of BS, I don't think coaches care that much if you tell them the wrong number, it wouldn't ruin your reputation. I'm sure they get over it real quick. But I'm not justifying making up a number.
