In my experience as a basketball official so far, I've seen there are really two types of officials. There are those who are "rule guys" i.e. those who can quote from the rule book at will and never have to look anything up. They can give you the rule number, sub-section, paragraph, etc. Then there are also those who read the rule book, yes, but can't quote from it at will, etc but have a more philosophical bent toward officiating.
I guess what it boils down to is there are "rule guys" and "philosophy guys"
