I have had to work alone a couple times (albeit, lower level games) and I don't think I would have found any guidelines to be useful in these games. The only hope is a good pre-game conference with the coaches and then a good one with the captains. After the tip the only thing I tried to do was continue to move and give myself every opportunity to have as good a look at the ten players as possible. Sometime that would mean being high and other times you got caught low because of the flow of the game. Afterward the coaches have made it a point to let me know they appreciated the effort I made in the game.
Working alone happens so rarely that putting together guidelines just does not seem like time well spent.
( I still had a parent in one of the games yelling for three seconds and all I did is turn around and say "you're kidding me right?")
