 B. Check the table for substitutions.
 C. Get eye contact with your partner(s).
 D. For a free throw, make sure the opponents are in the first spots.

B. Off Officials get the calling official going in the right direction. 
C. After free throws, get ball back into play.
D. Trail Official please don’t appease the Head Coach that was just called for a technical foul.
