				 OK - I admit it.  Reffing is much harder than I thought it would be. 
 
			
			Thanks everyone for all of your advice.
 I have now reffed some youth rec and men's rec.
 
 Things I've noticed or been pointed out to me:
 
 1. Signals need work - particularly hand up when blowing whistle.
 2. Having a hard time officiating play in the paint or at the basket, particularly on fast breaks.  It's difficult for me to see/decide what's incidental and what's a foul.  Add in I am missing contact with the body.  I think I have a good angle, but maybe I don't.
 3. Referee the defense.  I have missed some travels, carrying the ball and double dribbles.   I'm too focused on the defense I guess.
 
 Any tips are welcome.
