Read as much of the mechanics book to understand where you need to be and what you need to call. Buy a Simplified and Illustrated Rulebook as soon as possible. Great learning tool for things you almost need to visualize to understand. The rulebook alone might be very confusing, so buy this book directly from the National Federation.

Try Gerry Davis Sports, in my opinion the are the best for basketball. You can get basketball equiptment anywhere, but you want quality stuff. They have very good quality equiptment. Do not worry so much about price. If you do this on a regular basis, you will need to be more concerned about about the quality of the stuff you have. Considering all the washing and abuse it will go through in just one season.
Peace
Gerry Davis Sports
