Start at the varsity level? It was 4 years before I worked my first varsity game. Many others here will offer up similar experiences. Who do you think works the JV and freshman games (hint, new officials). That said, some people will work some varsity quickly -- it's a function of the area you live in, your talent, and your ability to prove to the assignors that you belong.
(Do not think that intramural experience is necessarily the same as working organized basketball. It only pays more. Organized basketball, that is. Back in 1987 I worked intramurals for the minimum wage at the time ($3.35 an hour) -- then someone showed me JV/Freshmen game paid $30 and the players couldn't talk back
