- Let’s have the Lead official follow the pass, stay with the ball.

Two-Point / Three-Point Shot
- If one official incorrectly signals the number of points, the other official will simply blow the whistle immediately, discuss the play with our partner, come to a decision, signal the correct number of points to the table, and resume the game. We will only correct if we are 100% sure.

Well, nice list to read while you're getting dressed & stretching.

But don't tell me you discuss all this stuff in mid February before going out to work the big game in front of a gym packed with people who hate each other. Or with partners you already know and trust. Rule changes after working them during scrimmages then Nov, Dec & Jan?

What about:
Team rivalries? Team tendencies? Past experience with either or both teams? Individual player and coach emotional makeup? Unusual plays you've been bitten by? Plays you're having trouble with? Maybe your partner's having a family problem and you need to buck him up for the next hour and a half? Maybe you got yer azz chewed by the boss at work today? Got a speeding ticket on the way to the game? That's what I want to hear. Reading thru a canned list of stuff isn't exactly what gets me prepared for a game.

Anyways, thanks for putting in the effort to type this. In particular I don't agree with the 3 I've left here.
