Pregame Meeting

I can certainly see how they could be lengthy. As I looked through the Official's Manual, I thought, "Whew, we're supposed to talk about all of this?"
Well, I guess now I know at least two things I will bring up; kicked ball and traveling. (And probably "first to touch after coming back inbounds" just for fun.)

Some other important topics in ANY pregame:
- last second shots
- post play
- eye contact prior to putting the ball in play
- need to change a call
- basket interference and goal tendign
- jump ball responsibilities
- front court coverage
- back court coverage
- transition game coverage

Some other things I like to cover:
If there is a warning issued, make sure partner knows it.
If we do call T on coach, make sure we do everything possible to let the other official call the second if it is necessary.
