I have had to work a couple of games solo this year. Here is what I have found to work best for me. As others have said, work free throw line to free throw line. I stay on the sideline opposite table. I give the same speach to the coaches as others have already stated. I also tell them that if I get screened on a OOB on "their" sideline, and they are not in agreement as to who last touched, then we go AP. I only tell them this incase it is an obvious play that everyone else in the gym saw but me.
Hustle your @$$ off and try to give them the absolute best game you can.
In our association it is required (I think it is a state rule FHSAA) that a varsity game must have two officials. Otherwise I will work any game that the coaches agree to haveing one official. BTW almost without exception, the coaches (even the howlers) have become as quiet as a church mouse as far as saying anything to me during the game.
