I attend the Big Ten Tournament every year and I have learned how to handle coaches better by watching an Ed Hightower, Ted Hilary and Donnie Gray just to name a few.

Also understand that when you watch veterans that have been around for 20+ years they have mechanics or an officiating style that is different. If you watch any sport 20 years ago or more and watch the officials, you will see a drastic difference in the mechanics used.
jdw, as example.

Donnee Gray is a excellent official with great judgement and communication skills. However there are some mechanics he employs that you could not get away with. He back-pedals down the court sometimes as the new Lead and he often stands on the inside of the thrower-in as the Lead during frontcourt throw-ins.
