Last night I worked with a new partner and noticed something he did. When he was across the court when a coach requested a time out, he would hit the whistle, raise his open hand, and hustle out to about the key before signalling toward the bench. Those extra few steps didn't make any difference to his effectiveness in calling the time out. But it looked good.

An evaluator may not care how close you get to the huddle, but will probably notice if the crew looked really sharp doing whatever it is they did.

Is that the kind of thing you're getting at, RookieDude?

Yup.
