3. Pregame talk to the captains/coaches – enlist their help with OOB – go to the arrow if they disagree - players help getting the ball.
4. Work the game from opposite side of the table from foul line to foul line.
5. OOB – use long bounce passes - stay out from under the basket.
6. Administer foul shots from the trail position.
7. Work a bigger arc than usual but don’t get caught in transition.
8. Position yourself so you can see all players at all times.
9. Transition – trail the ball slightly, stay as wide as possible.
10. During time outs stay on the spot where ball will be put into play.
Great list.

if you can I prefer opposite table side. Table does offer some assistance and support on that sideline.

Make a few tight calls early to keep the players under control

Watch your stamina, slow down just a bit.

Relax and do the best you can. Don't focus on who's not there (missing partner) but remind yourself how great it is you're there or the game doesn't happen.
