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.

MTD, Sr.
Or you could just look at each other and give the "run the baseline" signal.
Yeah, Rich.
That's what we do.
Make eye contact, then point at the spot or run that index finger horizontally in front of our chin. (I know..., the end line wave works, too)

Feet apart or Feet together --> that would add another sentence to a pre-game.
