Here is another trick that I learned from a fellow official by the name of Ben Bluett, III, of Toledo, Ohio, and I wish I had thought of it myself.

When the throw-in is going to be a designated throw-in (endline or sideline, it does not matter), each official should stand with his feet together to remind himself that that throw-in is a designated spot throw-in. And when the thrower is allowed to run the endline, each officials should stand with their feet apart about shoulder width. Since I am getting a little senile in my old age I need to use every trick I to remember what type of throw-in we are going to have.

Or you could just look at each other and give the "run the baseline" signal.
