Before the game tell both coaches that you are going to work the game from foul line to foul line opposite the table. Tell them that you need their help with OOB calls table side and if they disagree you are going to go with the arrow.
Warn the players before the jump ball that you may miss some fouls so you may be inclined to call the ones you do call as all intentional fouls.
Never go to what would normally be the lead position on the end lines; instead use long bounce passes to administer end line throw-ins.
Administer foul shots from the trail position.
Hustle.

jdccpa -- what the heck are you talking about? dont listen to his advice.
#1 Never rely on coaches to help you out during their game -- sometimes you will miss close OOB calls because you are on the other side of the court -- make it clear to the teams that they play the whistle -- also if you are not sure who it went off go to the arrow.
#2 Dont listen to this advice on the intentional fouls -- call what you see and just make it clear to the teams that you have a lot to cover so you will miss more than usual but as long as you hustle you will not have anyone complain that at least you are doing the best you are.
Listening to the advice above will save you from having coaches argue over an OOB call and just because you miss more now you start calling intentional fouls is ludicrous.
