In my first year, I worked 50 rec games after the "season" for a few reasons; see plays, game management, improve my conditioning and to experiment on different floor positions recommended to me in other games. I should mention I started after the camps, so I was learning on the run. My assignor kept me on the younger kids and with veterans that were great teachers. I think the rec games helped a lot.

As for the mechanics, I always used what I was taught during the game. I had one coached who complained I was wasting time during one of the many times we called a foul on his players. I simply told him that if he thought we were wasting time reporting fouls he needed to tell his players to stop committing them.
