Idaho State officials have admitted that two mistakes were made in the official scorebook during the second half of Weber State's 76-67 overtime win on Thursday. The mistakes occurred in the recording of a pair of fouls, one on each team that allowed for two players to finish the game with five fouls each.
The first scoring mistake occurred at the 17:14 mark of the second half, when a foul that was called on junior forward Felix Caspari was credited in the official scorebook to junior center Deividas Busma. The error resulted in Caspari playing the final 3:07 of regulation and the first 1:20 of the overtime with five fouls.
The second error occurred with 14:19 to go, when a foul on Weber State's Daviin Davis was not recorded in the book. Davis committed his fifth foul with 5:22 and scored six points the rest of the way.
"We are tremendously sorry to the coaching staffs on both teams that a clerical error like this has marred an otherwise exciting Big Sky Conference basketball game," said interim athletic director Jeff Tingey in a news release. "The coaches, and the game officials are dependent upon the official scorer and the table crew, and that fact that this has happened is not something we take lightly."
