This may have alleviated some issues you dealt with and just made calling the game more comfortable for you.

It's not perfect, but maybe covering some main issues while stretching and watching the warmups can be beneficial.
This is a good suggestion. Seeing how I also have a few 4 PM freshman games this winter, I'll keep it in mind when I have a partner who can't make it until closer to game time.

Thanks.
