Wilkco, consider contacting your local official's association. Get involved and learn the game. Study! Pass the tests. Do the middle school games, the rec leagues then move on to the frosh, JV... That should take you a couple years. You are arguing rules with the wrong people. We did get out there. We probably asked the same questions you did but in a forum that could show us how to officiate. I think you will find it rewarding and somewhat of a reality check. It's hard for us to explain rules and philosophy to someone who wants only to discuss things from a fan's point of view. And frankly, we normally tune out the fans.
Rut is right in that we see quite a few more games and know where to look and what to look for. If you spend a little time on the court as a referee, you will soon note a big change in the way you look at the game in general.
Have fun, good luck!
