Chuck's right. Don't complain about anything; at least not anything basketball related. Don't complain about coaches, fans, even co-officials (except in a formal reporting capacity when necessary). Complain about the traffic or weather privately, but not in front of anyone you don't know well.
The best officials I've ever met (basketball and football) are all, aside from skill level, positive, disciplined, and professional. No exceptions. Dress and behave like a professional at all times and your career will take off. Don't take plays off; don't take games off; and don't think of one game as any less than another. The 7th grade girls game tonight is more important to everyone there than the varsity or even D-1 game Saturday.
