Getting the game film from the teams are a great way to get video of yourself. Bring a blank vhs tape or dvd and a self addressed envelope with postage attached. Ask the coach before the game if it's possible to get a copy of the game film and most of the time they will comply and mail it to you.

The better option is to have someone tape the game and to focus on keeping the officials in the picture. Game film from teams will have all the dead ball periods cut out. The only thing coaches are interested in are live ball play. If you have someone taping for you then they can tape all the dead ball periods (reporting to the table, how you stand during timeouts, interactions with players and coaches during dead ball periods,etc) and I would suggest having them sit half way up the bleachers directly behind the scorer's table. This will allow them to see both sides of the court while zooming in and taping you when you report to the table. Buy a wide angle lens for your camcorder if you have the money b/c it will help to see the officials on the edges when the camera is focused on the ball.
