Good list. I may print this off and keep this in my basketball binder. I might make one more suggestion, especially for a noisy gym where you might not hear what's said over the ambient noise:
B½ - Make sure you have eye contact with the officials on all foul calls. If there is any doubt on the number, beckon them.

I had a pro-level championship game this summer with an SRO crowd and music during the game, so it was next to impossible to hear anything the officials said. So at the first stoppage in play, I beckoned the closest one to the table and let them know that due to the noise, I would have to rely on them giving clear signals/numbers on fouls and that I would nod my head to the calling official once I had the number. It worked well for the situation.
