In my first or second year, I worked in a gym that had about 3' of space all the way around the sideline and just a brick wall all the way around with a door on one side at each FT line extended. There was a balcony for spectators. It felt like a prison.
The benches were in their normal spots, but the table was in the balcony directly above where it normally would be on the sideline. When a player wished to check in, he/she would go to the spot directly under the table and pull a small chain. This turned on a light at the scorer's table, indicating a sub was ready to check in so they could hit the horn and notify the officials.
I've worked and played in small gyms, but that was crazy...
