Long Arm Of the Law ...
We've got a great local timer who, immediately after sounding the fifteen second warning horn, yells extremely loudly, "FIRST HORN. NO MORE SUBS".
I love this guy.
Ain't nobody going nowhere...

Like A Sore Thumb ...
Little lights on a scoreboard?
Fuhgeddaboudit!
Too bad figuring out who didn't report wasn't as easy as this:

Always Listen To bob ...
Agree with bob jenkins that it, indeed, can be done.
But how often does even a "good" scorekeeper do this in an interscholastic (high school or middle school) game?
I may be wrong, but I'm...

When The Ball Is Dead We Must Be Alive ...
I wouldn't.
In a perfect world, sure, even if it's not dictated by any mechanic, or by any rule language under Rule 2 Officials And Their Duties.
But I don't officiate in a perfect world.

Competent Scorers ...
It's actually the scorer's responsibility.
ilyazhito must have much more competent scorers in his Maryland/Virginia/Washington area than we have here in my little corner of Connecticut.

Choice Words ...
So if a coach takes out his six foot nine inch center (his top rebounder, top scorer, and top shot blocker) for a breather with fifty seconds to go in a close game in the third period, and sends him...

I Don't Think So ...
So it's our responsibility to see that who goes into a timeout or intermission huddle is, or isn't, the same as who comes out of a timeout or intermission huddle?

Back In ...
And even then, how can I (and the scorer) be sure that the player that the coach puts "back in" off the bench was a player that actually finished the previous quarter (or before the timeout)?

Substitutes ...
We have some great scorers here in my little corner of Connecticut (love to see old time veterans at the table).
But over forty-plus years I've often wondered if (and if so, how) they always keep...

Here's the third question that I got wrong on the IAABO Refresher Exam.
