1) connect with a partner who is known in the area and also has experience to learn from - be open to learning
2) signals - a big difference in officials is the professional look to their signals.
3) work at it - no substitute for studying officiating -book and observing on court - also, get someone to video tape you - even a few minutes will be revealing
4) work as many games as possible and consider each game the "Final Four" to the kids playing it - do your best at every level
5) handling coaches - be professional, yet friendly and be willing to answer their questions - but you don't have to take their guff - officials who control bad coaches' behavior are respected
Just my 2 cents
