I think it is great if they can do that.... but I have seen many times a ref who has talent moved up too quickly and not had the time to acquire the judgement about when to blow a whistle or not. Sometimes they see something goofy and just plain dont know how to handle it...

Then when they mess up they get chewed on or have a bad game because of the lack of experience and it destroys them or marks them... Personally I'd like to see somebody have a little more experience, but if they did evety basketball game known to man the first year and officiated a couple hundred games they'd be ok, but not if they only reffed 15-20 hs games then moved up... they would have to do more than that.
