Hey ya'll.
Been officiating basketball for several years now at a fairly competitive level. I'm probably going to get on a board this fall (never been home while the classes were being held, just graduated from college).
I have a fairly good understanding of rules that come up over the course of a game, but admittedly probably do not know the rules you may see once or twice a year. That would be step number one for me this season.
Its hard to say obviously without seeing me work, so I'll pose a question that circumnavigates what I'm actually looking for, and maybe someone will hit it
What advice would you give to a guy who has some experience and is looking to formalize it a bit more? What are some common things that first-third year officials mess up or have a hard time understanding? What are some things that would surprise me the most about working JV games?
I've done baseball now for 5 years, so I've gotten to know how nuts things can get in a heart beat. Looking for basketball specific stuff, including game management that may be a bit different than how baseball is handled.
Thanks! Will take any advice I can get.
