Thanks, everyone!
I was hoping the game would be on the site for viewing today, but it isn't posted.
Although there's some difference in opinion about a few habits I've picked up in the last year or so, I will put into practice many of the tips you've all offered. I need to re-read the posts to absorb everything, but here are some thins that stick out. (by the way, I'm too competitive to give up the stripes just yet, I have to get better at this first):
1. Stand tall when at the reporting area;
2. Consistently hustle to the reporting area (I watched a game last night where the officials reported fouls from the end lines);
3. Get better at knowing the foul situation and when bonus is about to take effect;
4. Get better at keeping track of the AP rather than relying on the table or the extra whistle I rotate from pocket to pocket; and
5. Raising my hand before I hand or bounce the ball to the thrower (hadn't thought about this before but it makes good sense).
There was also many good tips pertaining to three person mechanics. I'll study those suggestions, too, althouugh I don't think I'll work any more of those this season. I can see why some officials like it over two person.
Again, thanks.
