I know the temptation is to learn all about the rules. And that is great. But for a new official, dont forget to spend a ton of time with the Official's Manual. If you know basketball or if you played, you probably know the vast majority of the rules that you will encounter in your game, and your partner can help with the wierd stuff (note: this is NOT to say you shouldnt study the rules, you should!), but what you likely dont know much of at all is HOW to be a ref. So I would suggest you immerse yourself in the official's manual. Too many new officials worry too much about just studying the rules and dont spend enough time in the Official's Manual.
Good luck with your first year!
