Mechanics Poll

Fun debate about mechanics from this weekend. I want to see if I'm the only one who fails.

3 man, where does U1 stand during pre-game?

Behind the R, holding his Gatorade.

Observing the home team's warmups. U2 handles visiting team.

Could not have been a debate amongst veteran officials.

So are you watching the team warming up or on the bench side? And if so, do you switch at half time?

U1 watches home team warm-up just like in two man. U2 gets visitors.

U1 observes the home team's warmup. U2 observes the visiting team's warmup. R scans the crowd for hot moms.

Pregame has nothing to do with what bench you're in front of.

Never heard that one.

After introducing ourselves to coaches we all stand in front of the table for the anthem/intros. If players get in the circle we simply wave them over to their side of the court.
