Here's another game management point for newer refs: talk to the table. If you have a timeout close to the end of the game, one of the refs should check with the table to make sure everyone matches up and agrees with the scoreboard. I will do this throughout the game whenever I pass by the table on a dead ball (after timeouts or start of quarter when going to C table side). Always nice to catch these as soon as you can. After the game, a quick nod to the book or clock operator should be all that is needed before getting outta dodge.
