I saw the "Art of One-Person Mechanics" about a month ago on one of the forums. I thought it was great. A couple of nights later I get to the gym and do not have a partner. I had called a couple of JH games by myself but this was a HS game.
Things went great. I informed both coaches that I would be using one-person mechanics, gave them a quick rundown of how it would work and generally acted like it was a common practice.
Without the forums, I would have been lost and making crap up. This is a good read and something every official should have some knowledge of.
