As Bktballref said, you should always be wide in transition so as to not get caught up in the players. When switching sides of the court, you should go around the players and not through them. Your partner should have eye contact with you and not bring the ball in until you are ready.

In 2-person officiating, you may occasionally find yourself "in the way" on a turnover and quick transition. I think the best thing to do in that situation is just freeze and then run when the traffic clears up. By trying to dance and dodge, you'll just make things worse.

Remember that referees are often the only unbiased people in the gym. Coaches and fans are rooting for their players and so their "input" is extremely biased.
