3.1.4 Arrival on Court: Enter the court together at least 15 minutes before game time and go directly to the designated positions, on the sideline opposite the table, as follows:
A. Referee: At the division line.
B. Umpire 1: Approximately 28 feet from the end line, opposite the visiting team's bench, observe the home team's warm-up.
C. Umpire 2: Approximately 28 feet from the end line, opposite the home team's bench, observe the visiting team's warm-up.
In my area the U1 and U2 switch positions when reentering the court prior to the 3rd quarter and observing the remainder of the halftime warm-up.
That way each umpire remains with his designated team.
