Read the rules-related articles in the football section of Officiating.com. You will see the various authors look at rules from different perspectives. On several occasions, I've had trouble really understanding a rule and an article really helped. Ed Hickland's articles over the past few years have been especially helpful to me.

I like to use the following technique in reading the case book: Take an index card and cover up the "ruling" as you read a case situation. Come up with your "ruling" before you reveal the one in the book. If you get it right, move on to the next. If you don't, make note of it. I do this through the entire case book, then go back and get the rule book to further study all the ones I didn't get right. I find that this technique really identifies the rules you still need to work on.

Good luck!
