Working Solo
Working table side is the lesser of 2 evils because you will get less carping from the coaches. We have all had to do it from time to time. You may have to ocassionally go baseline for certain plays but try to avoid it as your endurance will be toast by the end of the game when you may need it most. Just keep calling those fouls i.e. resist the urge to let certain contact pass because you want to get to the end quicker. If you let the contact get out of hand you'll have a bigger headache than just working alone. The participants and administators have always appreciated the effort and hustle of a ref that has to work a game alone!
