If the ball comes from Center side to the basket, let the Center make that call if you are the lead official.

Trust your partners.

Officiate; do not worry so much about where you are standing.

I could go on and on about situations and mechanics. I think the best thing to do is review the mechanics in the book and just do the best you can. You should have some kind of pregame with the officials (not like normal, but tell them what you know and do not know). This is a great time for you to make mistakes and learn from them.

Agreed. My first 3-whistle game was a high school playoff game where the loser went home for the season. No clinic, no formal training, no nothing.

This is a great opportunity for you.
