Time out - know who has ball

[DownTownTonyBrown]

Official that will be adminstering the throw-in should go to the throw-in spot and hold the ball on the side of his body that it will be going (right side if the possesion is to the team going to his right, behind him if it stays on this end of the court, etc.) Of course consciously making a mental note works best and should still be done in addition to the physical mechanics.

I have found that this is an easy time to forget what is going on also.... Officials we need to make the mental note of which team gets the ball, which team called the timeout, can they run the endline, why am I standing here with the ball, who is our shooter, etc.

Yeah, I really am in the game coach. I'm awake.
