DO:
- Watch the official and start the clock on the chop each time. Nothing bugs me more than having to remind the timer to start the clock while the ball's in play.
- Know how the control panel works. Very annoying when it takes 5 minutes for the operator to put 5 seconds back on the clock.
- If you have the book make eye contact with the official as he reports fouls.
- If you have the book keep track of the arrow
- Time the timeouts & hit the horn at 45 sec & 60 seconds.
- Keep track of team fouls & make sure the officials know before a team is in bonus.
DON'T
- Hit the horn on every substition.
- Hesitate to call an official over if you didn't get a number or if there's any problem with the score or the book.
- DON'T do this during a live ball.
And don't forget to have fun!
