When Monk and Natalie are looking at the window in the girls' locker room, the camera view looking into the room from the window includes a considerable amount of debris on the top of the lockers. The camera view looking toward the window from behind Monk and Natalie shows the tops of the lockers to be clean.
Julie's principal is seen holding a packet of reports and places them on her desk (back shot). In the next scene they are seen back in her arms (front shot). The next scene they are back on the desk (back shot) and the following front shot the papers are back in her arms.
During the game, Natalie calls a time-out. Julie and the two Emily's are the only team members standing there while Monk draws on the playboard (front shot). When the time-in whistle blows, there's a girl named Caitlyn in front of Monk (back shot) and the whole team breaks away to return to the game.
As Monk is telling the team to give 100%, the scoreboard in the background shows the countdown has 12 seconds remaining. After explaining how 110% is mathematically impossible, when it pans back to an angle where the scoreboard is visible again, there's still 12 seconds remaining on the scoreboard.
While the three girls are asking Monk to find out what happened to their coach, he is ironing his three shoelaces (left, right, and backup, respectively). As the camera changes angles his shoe laces change positions several times.
Watson and Crick did not actually discover DNA; they discovered the structure of DNA. DNA was actually discovered in 1869 by Friedrich Miescher, a Swiss physiological chemist.
At the end of the game after the clock is corrected, the ball is inbounded at mid-court. But because the preceding play had been a made basket, the ball should have been inbounded from the baseline.
Nobody noticed that the outlet the blow-drier was plugged into was a GFCI. This would've stopped the current flow before the coach stepped into the water, which is why they are required. However, the SFPD indicated their belief this was faulty, and Monk did also identify that the outlet was tampered with.
The hair dryer was plugged into a GFCI socket which would have tripped open and therefore not provide any power to electrocute the victim. However, the outlet was tampered with and did not work out properly.
When the time in whistle is blown, both teams return to the court from the same spot. Team benches are separated during games, especially championship games.
The team benches are on the same side of the court, but they are separated by the score keeper's table.

Natalie's hair is short in the beginning, longer when they are investigating the forest fire and then short again by the end.
[32:18] When the referee tells Monk to stop blowing his whistle, his back is turned away from Monk and Natalie when he starts talking. Then in the next frame a split second later he is facing Monk.
It is strange that Captain Stottlemeyer, of the Robbery & Homicide Division of the San Francisco Police, was given the file on the Dratch Valley fire, an arson case with no injuries or fatalities at a site that is at least a 2 1/2 hour drive from San Francisco.
Despite having evicted Natalie from the game, the referee walks by her at least twice after she takes off her Cougars mascot disguise and doesn't react.
Stottlemeyer states that DNA was discovered by Watson and Crick, "two British scientists." Although they made their discovery at Cambridge University, only Francis Crick was British; James Watson is American.
