Two years ago, I had a game where I walked in at about game time (car accident on the freeway). The association president, there early for the next game, was getting dressed to replace me if need be. We had about a 30 second pregame, and I was out of sorts the whole game.
I was back in that gym last night (incidental detail), and worked with two partners who had just done the freshmen game in front of me. The R did a good job of taking a few extra minutes between games to make sure we had a decent pregame.
I've also found that being out of the car for a while, with time to get into the mindset, is helpful even if the pre-game is less than stellar.
