Positives and negatives working with new people, on the plus side for me:
1. As Rich pointed out, I tend to be more focused and work hard to earn my stripes with the crew that night.
2. Enjoy meeting and learning from new people.
On the downside:
1. I find out crews are out of synch a lot more, it can be tougher to find a rhythm with the game.
2. It seems like partners reach more.
For me the biggest part of working with new people each night is that it required me to have more patience. The first year I experienced it, I would come home frustrated every night because "this guy I have never worked with" made a bad call and the crew suffered. Now I can brush those things off and enjoy the "down time" on the court.
