The most important parts about an SIDs job is to keep stats and report on the games. A couple of times this season I will complete a write up of the game and a coach will tell Brian that something about the article was wrong. For example in one of the softball articles I wrote that a player had two home runs when the truth was she had three. Now the problem isn't with my writing it's with the stats. After being at so many basketball and softball/baseball games this season I know firsthand that the stats are not always right. There have been multiple times when the stats are wrong, (compared to the two teams stats that are kept on their sidelines or in their dugouts) so my write up has been wrong. When that happens the coaches will come to Brian and ask can stats be changed, this happens more often than not at away games, so Brian has to call or email the SID from SU's opponent and sometimes the SID is willing to change and sometimes they will stand by what they entered in and won't change them for any reason. There just is no continuity between the SIDs in the conference; some have a reputation for turning in stats almost 24 hrs after a game and others have a reputation of botched stats. I don't think any SID is necessarily bad, I just think they may need more help than they are getting.
