Pregame scouting/team tendencies

[doubleringer]

Absolutely we talk about what a team generally does defensively and offensively. I've also had assignors call before the game to give us a head's up if there were more serious issues from a previous game.

My last high school game was in the far southern part of the state. 2 teams I had never seen before. I actually contacted a head coach down in that area (not involved in the game) and asked about both teams' style of play. He also indicated that when the teams last met, there was ugliness that went on during the post-game handshake. He didn't know specifics, but I was very glad to know there was some bad blood, so to speak, between the teams going in. Our game went on without anything major, but we were also had a, to use a women's college term, hightened awareness of any non-basketball plays.
