Putting high school kids in positions of authority is a dangerous move. Your opponents will appreciate your professionalism in these matters. For the sake of the officials on the floor, your scorer can now be more easily spotted. Plus, by distinguishing the book keeper from the rest of the table, you add to the element and air of authority. Don't ever underestimate the significance of that.
Officials love working games with efficient workers at the table.
Together, they become a part of the team which is there to properly arbitrate and administrate the rules and the regulations of basketball. Pay your people accordingly If your desire as coach or AD is to have the quality table we've discussed, then pay your people accordingly. AD's need to determine financial resources through budget work, and they should adjust their pay scales accordingly for lower level games. JV referees make less money than varsity officials do, and JV timers and scorers should be paid accordingly. The same holds true for the freshman and junior high school levels.
