I still get nervous before games. Not necessarily a bad thing, it means you care about doing a good job. Hopefully when the ball is tipped, you will be able to focus on the job at hand.
I found some really simple things to be difficult in my first game like remembering which direction the teams were going in. The best piece of advice I have heard is to SLOW DOWN when reporting fouls, look at tour partner before in bounding the ball etc.... Not easy to slow down when you are starting out. Keep in mind, you are going to improve in leaps and bounds in those first few games, so don't be too critical of yourself.
