i worked my first 2-man last night with my usual partner. and i must say either one of us like the positioning on TOs. And we tried both ways of getting them out of the huddle last night. just wondering what the rest of the officiating world is doing with this.
thanks!

Since I don't have my books yet, I can't say officially. In 2 person, I would think the person at the table center court should warn both teams. The team farest from the ball first. Then the next team as he's walking to get into position to restart the game. The only problem is when you're away from the bench with the ball. I think you need to stay with where the ball's going to be inbounded.
What I'm doing now is instead of saying 1st horn, I'll say 5 seconds left blue if I warned the other bench first. You must communicate your expectations of this in your pre-game conference with the captains and coaches. Then it works like a charm.
