I posted the same question on the football board and got lots of good advice, so I wanted to ask the same question here. What advice would you have for a new basketball offical to make the learning experience as smooth as possible on both him and his potential partners (rules, mechanics, conditioning, politics, dealing with howler monkeys, etc.)?
I called some league ball this spring and enjoyed it enough to go ahead and join the association so I can call "real" basketball. All help and advice is appreciated.
