Nothing wrong with asking. Becoming a pro or NBA ref does not mean you have to have done HS varsity or even college for a long time to get to that point. Obviously that is usually where most might start, but there are officials that have made it without doing a single HS varsity game. You have to go to camps and learn the way the NBA officiates. That is quite different than what all the other levels do. The NBA are looking for much more than officiating experience, they are looking for people that can handle pressure. They will teach you how to officiate if need be.
