Amen!
We have one school with a similar staff. Been doing it forever! As we go by the table between quarters the clock operator looks you dead in the eye and says - "Ref, white ball coming out. Switching the arrow now!"
They also have a great, polite management staff to open the locker rooms, escort you, provide water - a real treat! Squared away!!
As someone who works a great many levels of games, it's so refreshing and appreciative to have an excellent table crew!
My favorite comment from an experienced table...... I did a Girls 7th grade game a ways back. Bad is an understatement! At the end of the first quarter the score was 0-0. The only mark on the scoreboard was the 1 for the period! No fouls, nuttin!
I walked over to the table between periods and the book person looked at me and said......."I've been doing this for 25 yrs......and that's six minutes of my life I'll never get back!"
