I totally agree, it is so easy to do. One of my standard pre-game items is... "I don't anticipate we'll have any T's, but if we do, we're going to meet before we shoot. It'll give us a minute to calm down, and to make sure we don't shoot at the wrong end."

And if it's a partner I know well, I'll add... "Again."

One time is enough for any career.
