As a first year, this is one of the toughest areas for me.
Anticipating TO calls (when they will logically be requested)
Immediately recognizing who is calling (while their team has ball or dead ball)
Discerning the language they use to call it, sorting it out from the instructions that coaches are giving their players
Looking to the benches at the right time to see coaches as they signal.
I would think that this is one area that really gets easier with time.
Right now, responding to the coach's request for time out after a made basket is often a genuine challenge for me to do prior to a live ball if it is the new defensive coach's request, or prior to the inbounds pass if it offensive coach's request.
Lets say it is a PPOI -- Personal Point of Emphasis.
Ward.
