Interesting mechanic

[Old School]

Game management gentlemen, that's what we are talking about here. Most of the time the players are not doing this intentionally, they are distracted focusing on there next play, etc. That's a lot of pressure for a young man or woman in high school. I've even seen this with the men. They are not in any way trying to show you up. They are caught up in the moment. I always tell them to come over here. The key to look for IMHO, is if the player hears you. If they don't, how can you expect them to do what you are telling them to do. Get there attention first, once you got that, then tell them to come over here. Dropping the ball on them and starting your count is poor game management skills, IMO. Nobody going to lose any money or die if you take a few extra seconds to get the teams out of the huddle or get the player to come over to you. One of the things that works for me and I have gotten much better at this over time. I will tell the inbounder, 3 pt line, 3 pt line! That's where the ball went out.
