Entry There are multiple times during the basketball games, when Scott is doing some fancy passing, when it would be really easy for the opposing team to steal the ball, but they don't because, well... the script doesn't call for it. [Not necessarily a movie mistake. Who's to say the other team is any good? They could be a bad team and therefore don't realize they're able to steal the ball. You can't comment on what the script calls for unless you wrote it.]
Entry Isn't it rather strange that nobody outside the Howard family's small town expresses any interest in the confirmed discovery of a new human sub-species, the only one on the planet? Wouldn't it be more likely that their little backwater town would be inundated with every press and scientific organisation on earth, and that the Howard family would be the centre of the greatest publicity carnival of all time? [Probably not, because this same case is most likely to have happened to other people before - as seen in Teen Wolf Too, there are plenty of other 'werewolf' people. So it is most likely that a case like Scott's has been exposed and reported before in other locations. Also, such a small town would probably want to prevent such a thing from happening, and everyone seems a certain bit frightened of Scott as a werewolf.]
Entry At the beginning of the movie, Scott is talking to his basketball coach in his office. The next scene he is shown leaving school in completely different clothes. [He is leaving the locker room as you said. The whole point of a locker room is to change clothes so it can be assumed that he changed clothes in the locker room. Just b/c the didn't actually show him changing clothes doesn't mean it didn't happen. Remember this is a PG movie.]
Entry When Styles is "Urban Surfing" on Scott's van on the way to the party, they pass the same Jack In The Box Restaurant twice, and the same Denny's twice. [They are driving around a small town with not too many streets. They are cruising around trying to be seen by everyone so who says they can't go down the same street twice? No mistake here.]
Entry Near the start of the film when Scott and his Dad are in the shop, a little boy blows a dog whistle which hurts Scott's ears, but it doesn't seem to bother his Dad who we later find out is also a werewolf. [The father doesn't convey a reaction to the whistle because he is used to being a wolf. Scott is dealing with just realizing he is a teenage werewolf and can't control things such as this yet.]
Entry Though the vampire legend gets changed when convenient for the plot, werewolf legends have always centered around changing with the moon. How does Michael J. Fox change during the day? [In Teen Wolf it is a family trait that appears during or after puberty. It is triggered by the full moon but also by rises in emotion (anger, lust, etc.) It isn't your typical werewolf syndrome.]
