I try and get there at least 30 minutes before a game whenever possible. I too arrive in street clothes and have had ADs acknowledge that I was there early and hopefully my partner would be right along.
Most show up in uniform or ratty jeans, I just can't understand that.
I apologized to an AD last year for getting there 20 minutes early because I got delayed and work and she said, oh don't worry, your partner isn't hear and you're still early compared to some guys.
I personally can't imagine rolling out of my truck and heading directly for the court to start the game.
