You could just puke now and get it over with...

One thing you'll find is the game itself isn't much different than the games you've been working. There will still be fouls to call, throw-ins to administer, free throws to watch, etc. The one difference is (usually) the play is better. If not, well then you've had experience calling those types of lower-level, sloppy games, right?

The most important thing is to enjoy it. I still remember my first game ever, my first HS varsity game, and my first college game. I was told to enjoy the moment, and it helped. Sure, things still happened, but at least I learned from them.

Good luck, and let us know how it went.
