Refnrev, I've been basically off duty for a couple of years, but I know what I did before when I was feeling distracted -- and there were days...!! I would talk to myself out loud quietly about the game as it was unfolding in front of me. "I'm off ball, watching #45 try to get free to receive a pass. where's my partner? Oo, some contact, but no real advantage,
now she's in the key, now out. Okay, she's rotating out to the sideline, check the whole floor, #5 is setting up to take a charge, but the dribbler veers away, where's the clock? Ball dropping down weak-side, I'm rotating across, ...
and so on. It really helps keep my attention out of myself, and on the action. Keep the whistle in your mouth and just pretend you're putting commentary on a tape, or that you're asking and answering questions, as if from an evaluator.
