[Ref in PA]

This is my routine when I am the "R":

11 minutes prior, check the book, meet with scorer and timer. Review with scorer and timer duties. Meet with each Head Coach individually, introduce myself, review coaching box, make sure coaches signal and make eye contact when calling time outs. Ask coaches if they have any questions.
