End of period procedure

[Todd VandenAkker]

Nice job of communicating with your partner in the last moments of the game, Bruce. Even if you don't use a visible count, counting to yourself is an excellent idea. Another thing I almost always do in this situation is to remind the timer to look for the inbounding official to chop time in, then remind my partner to be sure to chop it in clearly if HE gets a throw-in before time expires. Now both refs are thinking about the time, and the TIMER is well aware of starting it correctly.
