bench official

[bballrefinks]

For those that officiate college, I'm wondering if you can help me out.

I've just been asked tonight if I am interested in being a bench official at a juco tournament in March. I thought this was just another description for a table worker, so I figured shot clock, game clock, scorebook, something like that. Come to find out from the person that asked me, it's none of those things.

Apparently all I know about a bench official is that I track the game for the officials. Can anybody give me more info about this? It sounds like a good way to get involved in a national tournament, but I certainly wouldn't want to screw something up!
