For me, it would have been helpful to have possessed more one-person knowledge going into the game I was thinking about. With only a handful of vague notions about how to work alone, I was WAY too focused on the details of how I was going to try to work the game, and not focused nearly enough on cleaning up guard play/hand checking, which would have saved me a LOT of grief during the actual game.
So I suppose Billy's list might consume one official, to the point where he cannot focus on the game, and yet free another official from having to think about mechanics so that he can focus on the game.  |
Once again, this is not supposed to happen. If it does happen I would not want to hold an official to a strict guideline when I am not the one who is going to be on the court. If I am watching someone work alone, I am certainly not going to begrudge them on how they do it. If you want a well called game, make sure you have 2 officials are working the game and it is better if you have 3 officials. If you want to come up with a guideline that is perfectly fine with me and many others here I am sure. I am just not going to downgrade an official for doing something very difficult even for the most in shape person. If anything I would only be concerned about are they trying to hustle. Other than that, they need to survive.
