Now I know a lot of you are thinking that I should not get rattled or distracted. I'm getting better with time and experience, but I'm still waiting for the horn.

BTW, do any of you guys have table-bench locations that are out of the ordinary? Like table 10 feet in the air with no possible way to see subs? We have one that the sub flips a light switch to let them know he/she is down there. Another gym has home bench table side and visitors across gym floor. Are we unique are do ya'll see some of the same stuff?

Nothing much out of the ordinary around here. But I noticed that Vanderbilt's gym was rather odd during Saturday's Vandy/GT game. Benches at the end of the floor. Table about 20 feet off the floor and sunken down in. There was about 20 feet of free space on both sidelines. Was it built to house an olympic ice rink or something?
