And here's where you'll get some of the real wierd, odd happenings too. I love doing men's leagues (when I'm in the mood to). Yes I'd be lying if I didn't say that they suck sometimes, but, they're good teaching tools. LoL

The best place to learn?
How do you learn from teams not running an offense? How do you learn when you have no coach? How do you learn with no table personnel that have to keep track of proper records? How do you learn when partners do not want to use the proper mechanics? How do you learn when your partners might not even work any HS or college ball?
If that is the best place to learn, I sure know a lot of officials that do not do them and are very successful.

Not running an offense makes you stay sharp and ready for the unexpected.
You have 10 coaches on the floor acting as bad as the worst coach you will ever run into in a high school game.
There are table personnel in men's league and they screw up all the time, 2-3 and 2-10 ring a bell?
You have a point about mechanics, but that does not keep you from doing things by the book.
Partner not working HS or college, you learn what NOT TO DO.
You need to work if you don't have experience and rec leagues will give you countless opportunities to apply the rules you rarely see in high school games.
If you can handle rec leagues you can deal with ANY coach or player in a high school game.
Remember some officials out there are not in a position to say a level of basketball is beneath them.
