My father, a longtime basketball official, gave me two pieces of advice when I started officiating:
"If you have to work a girls game, try to make it look like basketball"
"Work every game like it is the most important game you have ever worked because, to someone, it is"
But I do like the "Tower Philosophy". I think young officials could benefit from reading it as they would gain a better understanding of a good officiating mindset.
