The main thing is to just figure out where the clocks and scoreboard information is located. Otherwise nothing really changes. You still have to officiate.

That is probably the biggest issue...the boards that you use to keep up with information are often in very different places than HS gyms. I've worked a few times on such courts and you just have to get used to looking a LOT higher and farther away to see the info.

And the information is often not clearly in the "right place." There are times where it is hard to find the foul count is in a weird place, which is mostly all I care about anyway.

If you have a scoreboard in the middle above the court, that can often be a horrible place to look as it is hardly ever in your view and you are spending your time looking up to get a good look.

But I do enough college games where I am not freaked out by the court or even how the benches are in relationship to the court. But if you are not used to a bigger court, it can be an adjustment for angles and how fast you need to run at times.

Peace
