My first year, I had a game in the Auxiliary gym of a Dallas ISD high school. It was actually a jr. high tournament being played there. Most DISD high school main gyms are, well, terrible, but this one was easily the worst I've been in. Its small, similar to what you described, and no seating. Luckily, there is somewhat ample room on the sidelines and baselines -- about 6-8 feet or so to the walls. Not ideal, or even decent, but workable. Every so-called fan was SRO. Fortunately, we didn't have any problems with that.
The main problem was they didn't have a scoreboard. Nor did they have a horn. I gave the girl doing the hand timing thing a whistle and told her to blow it when the time ran down. She did (I guess), but couldn't blow loud enough for anyone to hear. I had to look at her constantly when I thought we were getting close.
