That's kind of how we do it. If you work with a steady crew for any length of time...even as little as a year's worth of games, this will usually become second nature after awhile. I think the tip off to a coach is obvious nervousness and that's usually tipped off by a very quick and fairly uninformative meeting with one or both of the coaches. Relax and take your time. You have to remember they're going to get their first impressions of you and your crew from this PG meeting and your ratings for the game may start out on a bad note from the get-go.
