Camp is very important. I advise AAU ball in your area. You should be able to get almost as many games as you want. With that type of ball you learn to put up with alot of BS, and learn how to handle it. Your partners mechanics don't matter. Find someone who you think looks smooth, no matter whether it be your HS association, NCAA, or NBA and try to look as smooth as them. There are a couple of guys who I know who just broke into the college ranks that I worked with last year at the camp I went to that are from Atlanta, Josh Davis and Matt DiPiro. These are two solid officials. If you get a chance to come in contact with them talk to them.
Lastly, want to get better. If you want it bad enough and surround yourself with great refs, you too have a shot at being great.
