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 donÂ’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.

Great list posted at our refs meeting last night but one veteran disagreed with #4 suggesting that one should work from the table side so that the calls come from the same angle view as the coaches.

I don't stay on the opposite side the whole time - I'll go back and forth from table side to opposite side so I can get the best view of the play. I don't see how you can work a game from one side of the court the whole time. You're going to miss a lot more than you should. If you're hustling out there, everyone will know it and lay off you for the most part.
