Well put nevadaref. I also like the citation of the officials’ manual. I would like to point out a couple of things. My partner and I don’t leave each other out to dry; we work as a team. I’m getting one team out and he is getting the other. We don’t walk around the court. We enjoy what we do and we hustle. The delaying the game comment is off. By working this way early in a game, it is not necessary to do the same later in a game.

I never said that we haven’t put the ball down. We have, but not while one team is in the huddle still. It’s usually because players come onto the court in a daze and ignore how the ball is coming back into play.

If this works for you, great. Have you ever heard that you should be fascinated by what interests your boss? Our association’s evaluators have made it a point to go over this during preseason meetings. This is how we are told to take care of business.

But, your point is noted.
