2. need to really be more patient on pointing. I would get the color right on a call but a couple times I pointed the wrong way.
Couple of points here: The way to master this concept (it has taken me four years!) is to develop a couple of habits.
1. ALWAYS either point first and then yell the color, or yell first and then point.
Juulie's point is a good one: don't try to do everything at once. To me, this problem (and yes, I have it too, although I'm getting better) is the best reason to keep the "stop the clock" mechanic on OOB calls. It slows me down, and that extra second while my hand is in the air gives my brain time to process what has to happen next. It even allows me to glance at the benches to see which way "red" is going this half, if I've lost track.

I know the really cool guys on TV don't stop the clock much anymore, but it helps me.
