The only time no one *****es is when the foul/violation is so obvious that even the player's grandma knew he had it coming. Relax, work as many games as you can, focus, study, watch the better officials in your area, learn, stay in shape.
There is one caution I would give, though. I have noticed that many of the first year officials I have watched this year get too close to the play. I watched a game last night in which the rookie, as lead, took every drive to the hoop as close as he could get to the basket and plays would just explode in his face. He would make calls at the appropriate time, but at least half of them were called the wrong way or on the wrong player. He knew "something" happened, but he was just too close to see the full picture. He heard a lot b!itching, too.
