Welcome to the board! We love fresh mea... I mean, new refs. Anyone who wants to get better and learn more about officiating is always welcome here.

Your friends were right, and you weren't. Don't despair, though. That was a small mistake and now you'll never make it again.

If you don't have a copy of a rule book, find out which rules you are working under, and buy a rule book. It will help you a lot. There are several different sets of rules, one for high school which is called NFHS, or Fed; two for college ball, which are called NCAAM and NCAAW; there's FIBA which is international ball; and of course the NBA, which we don't discuss much here.

Happy Hoops!
