OK, well, I'm a 2nd year football official but never played or coached the game at any level. I'd say my rules knowledge is about average, and the only positions I've worked on the field so far are LJ and HLM.
I've been doing hoops for 10 years, so I understand the people side of things and all.
We're pretty short of officials around here and 2 of our White Hats are retiring next year. To be honest, I was pretty surprised to have been approached, but I'm gonna start spending some more time in the book and see what I cando to get myself ready.
As best I can tell, as long as you have a good crew that can take care of their areas, the main responsibilities that fall on the WH are proper application of penalty enforcements. I feel like I can get the polished mechanics pretty well since I've done basketball for so long.
Any pointers on how to prepare myself better would be greatly appreciated.
