Make it up?

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 is a bunch of crap like Snake said. For one not everyone is at the mercy of a coach when it comes to the playoffs. And depending on what coach it is, they will not be listened to anyway. So what if they see we made a mistake. They are going to claim we made more than giving them the wrong number. You know things like clipping or holding that they think we totally missed. Who cares what a coach thinks? If that was the case, no officials I know would ever work the playoffs it coaches held that kind of power.
