Not only was the tournament timer incompetent this year, so was the person responsible for keeping score on the scoreboard. There were numerous times during both the men's and women's tournaments when the scorekeeper either fell asleep or simply wasn't paying attention. He was particularly bad in recording made free throws. I do not exaggerate when I say there was often as much as 30 seconds or more before made free throws were recorded on the scoreboard. There were also numerous times when the points scored were credited to the wrong team and then it took several more seconds to correct the mistake. It was terribly frustrating. MAC players, coaches and fans deserve better. It was pathetic.
