Rut - when you officiate you trust your partners and when you officiate you trust the table. i'm glad to know that in case i ever move to the chicagoland area and have the opportunity to work a game with you, i know i'll be trusted .

you say you trust the table and your partners to do a great job. i assume you COMMUNICATE with your partner(s) during the game. maybe you get together at the first time-out or at a quarter to discuss the game and it's flow. my question to you is this...

if you trust your partner(s) to do a great job and you still think it's important to talk to them, don't you think it's just as important to communicate with the table every once in a while?

Or do you not find it important to communicate with your partners either?

thanks for enlightening us all,
jkt
