There are several cases where something is credited even though it didn’t happen, so you’re memory isn’t playing tricks on you at all.

 

I have seen a coach tell the team (and hence unofficial) scorekeeper to score is as such.

 

What a lot of people don’t realize is, there are “official” stats that should be kept in accordance with the rules, and “coach’s” stats that mean something to him. The problems happen when they’re mixed up and one taken for the other.

 

I’ve always told coaches I score for that I refuse to mark something incorrectly to help them, but will gladly track anything for them according to the rules they establish. When I get asked to do that, its almost always mental errors, and those can be offensive and defensive. But the trick is, I keep them completely separate.
