I would suggest if anybody has a chance to grab an NBA official's manual to do so. it is 20 times more in depth than the NFHS or CCA manual does. It has guidelines for plays, a performance standards section, and a self-performance section just to name a few.

 Why would anyone want the NBA official's manual if they aren't doing games played under NBA rules? 

 Supervisors/evaluators don't take too kindly to officials who don't use the proper mechanics for their particular ruleset-- even in the....wait for it....SEC, believe it or not. Trot out NBA mechanics or procedures or philosophies in a high school or college game and you might be trotting out the door at the same time.
