Rich,
I know that feeling. Most of the time I let my partner know when I feel I am out of kilter and ask him to let me know at each break if he noticed something I am doing wrong. I have found that simply asking for the feedback from an "on floor evaluator" causes me to focus more.
Unfortunately last Friday both my partner and I were off. We both arrived at the game 20 minutes before tip (and I left work 2 1/2 hours before game time for a drive should have taken an hour...sometimes I hate traffic). We change as fast as we can and hit the floor. The JV game was first and we talked every chance. He admitted first that he felt like everything he was seeing, doing and thinking was on fast-forward. When I owned up to the same, we just talked about what we were doing on the floor. The varisty game felt a lot better.
We bumped into the visiting varsity coach while being escorted to our cars after the game and he complimented us both. Said we had a good first game but were really on top of things in the second. My partner started laughing and told him how we both felt like the first game was OK at best. Kinda makes you wonder about the officials he has had this year.
