I admit there are times I do get sidetracked  , but that's also because I periodically pay attention to my surroundings, especially if something is happening that shouldn't be. |
Are you proposing having one person to do all 4 tasks, so that there is less distraction?
Or maybe we should separate the people at the table and have the shot clock operator sit in one corner and the home team's scorer in another so that they aren't tempted to be social?
Or maybe we can have them all sit in their own plexiglass cubes so that they can see the action and hear whistles, but not talk to each other?
Seriously, is it really that hard to pay attention to a game for 32 minutes, that, at most schools, you are getting paid for?
