Working a Game Alone:

1. Work alone!(Don't just take anyone out of the stands to help you.)
2. Talk to the table – help on whether the ball went in or not.
3. Pregame talk to the captains/coaches – enlist their help with OOB – go to the arrow if they disagree - players help getting the ball.
4. Work the game from opposite side of the table from foul line to foul line.
5. OOB – use long bounce passes - stay out from under the basket.
6. Administer foul shots from the trail position.
7. Work a bigger arc than usual but don’t get caught in transition.
8. Position yourself so you can see all players at all times.
9. Transition – trail the ball slightly, stay as wide as possible.
10. During time outs stay on the spot where ball will be put into play.
