That said, I had a game with Bob the other night and probably did none of the above.
The table notifies me. I turn to the coach, say "That's 5." Then I start the clock from the same position, THEN I make sure my partners and player know. By then, we've already had the first horn and a sub better be on the way to the table to report.

If the team has enough time to, essentially, have a free 30-second timeout, I'm not doing my job.
