Individual Mechanics Question

[JugglingReferee]

I was taught:

- admin throw-ins with the arm beside the player to start the clock
- switch arms when starting a new count

Right of left - it doesn't matter. In fact, I stop the clock with the same arm needed to point direction.

I echo grunewar's statement abpit being ambidextrous and trying to use the hand/arm closest to the table/benches, when possible.

This is how I do it, although I can't say I ever worry about the table. I probably default to my right hand without thinking about it, though, when starting a fresh count (unless I'm going from one count to the next.)
