Game Awareness

[Jay R]

Sme good points.

I also use a journal. I find good to write down the good, the bad and the ugly of a game. I review those notes periodically. I use this as a way of working on specific parts of my game.

Keeping track of team fouls is important. It's always impressive to see an official call a foul and know if a team is in bonus or not. One of the best officials in our zone is always on top of this.

I always check the shot clock on every whistle. Last Sunday, I noticed a reset of the shot clock after a blocked shot out of bounds. I asked one of my partners if he knew how much time was left on the shot clock. He was not sure. The other partner comes in and says the ball was inbounded with a 3:32 left on the game clock. We did the math and reset the shot clock. I was impressed.
