The rules are more difficult in football.
The officiating is more difficult in basketball.
Rules - Seems the more players on the field/court, the more complex the rules. In football, different rules apply to different players, depending on their location on the field. There are more restrictions on the players, even when the ball is dead. Although basketball rules are complex, I these items are the major differences.
Officiating - Officiating football is easier in that you have the same responsibilities and positioning on every play, with the exception of kicks. You're basically doing the same thing 80-100 times a night. In basketball, you're constantly moving/rotating/switching, 10 players in a confined area, always refereeing the defense.
That's a brief, simplified view from someone who does both. I think you'll enjoy football.
