Lightbulb Veterens - Do the Pregame!

I am a 2nd year official and I find having a pregame extremely helpful. Some officials like to switch on every foul. Some officials won't switch when they are trail and call a foul right in front of them. Some officials don't push when the ball goes out-of-bounds and want you to go up court. Things to cover should be:

1. Simultaneous whisltes. (Neither official signal and sort things out before we report to the table)

2. Last second shot. (Trail calls it unless there isn't a clock for trail to look at then lead calls it, etc.)

3. Switching on fouls (See above)

When two or three people are not communicating well during the game, it shows through so veterens, rookies, and everyone else who officiates, PLEASE HOLD YOUR PREGAME.
