I guess this is it in a nutshell. Bob has such a way of getting right to the point. (when in doubt, listen to Bob).

I new the answer all along, but its nice to bounce it off all the experience here and see if anyone has a different take on it.

Same thing Rut and DeeCee said. Just had more than usual this year. But on the bright side, I did get paid the same for all of the games and got to work on mechanics and game management things I might not have been able to do in a more closely contested game.

You are 100% wrong. It's, "Always listen to bob". You've got over 200 posts, and you're acting like a newbie. You'll never become an esteemed member with mistakes like this.

The only pregame we have for things like this is "Thank heaven for the running 4th quarter clock."

Kind of mirrors with my officiating career.

I do not like to remind partners this, and I take is as an insult when my partner reminds me.

What other information do you not like to be reminded of and how do you decide between that and other info that's OK for a reminder? I don't learn anything new in a pregame -- everything is a reminder and some of it is pretty basic, yet I would never be insulted by it. It bothers me that you would be, but perhaps I've missed your point here.
