Timeout Procedure
 

It is my first full year being an IAABO member, and was just wondering how important it was to stick to the procedure regarding where to stand during timeouts and change of quarter. It is sometimes beneficial to meet with a more experience ref to receive feedback/talk about what is going on.

If you have some reason to get together, do so. If you're just chewing the fat, go to your spot.

I understand. Every game I seem to be meeting less and less as I get more confident. In baseball, it was emphasized DO NOT MEET if there has recently been a controversial call. Does the same theory exist in basketball as well?

Obviously unless you need to meet to discuss a call, but I meant during the timeout after.

I'm in IAABO. I understand feeling the need to communicate, as I can be chatty, but know what's really needed (red ball, 20 white's getting more aggressive, etc.) and what can wait.
