PRE-Game Conference

[bc7]

As a first year official, I found that the partners that I had that had a thorough pre-game were much easier to work with. I worked with some guys who would honestly just ask how I was doing, and and then head out to the floor. Others would go over a checklist, and talk about positioning while demonstrating on a clip board.

I always try to discuss the essentials (double whistles, technical foul situations, etc. etc.) with my partner. It seems like something usual will happen if we didn't discuss it pre-game.
