It always makes me wonder when someone posts a local rule/method like it is the beginning and the end. The bottom line is you do what you are allowed to do and what is best for the situation. But if the contract and local policies allow the game to be played with one official, we play.

A more experienced official once told me that if I ever worked alone, work from foul line to foul line tableside. The couple of times I've had to work by myself, it seemed like a hybrid of the center position with a little working of the arc like the trail in 2-person was most comfortable and I did tend to stay tableside. Throwins were typically administered by a bounce pass from approximately where I felt I needed to be, but I always went to the end line to administer free-throws.
