Welcome fellow newbie.

This place is great. Lots of good advice. There are a number of threads on advice/tips/hints that can be found using search.

1. Work as many games as you can. Pick one or two things to work on. Any more than that and it's a muddle.
2. Get your hand up every time you blow the whistle. It's surprising how hard it is to remember that.
3. Know and practice your signals.
4. Find a good assignor/mentor/evaluator. Invaluable. I was horrible to start. Now I'm just bad (lots of improvement in two months.)
5. Get in the right places on the floor and call the obvious.
6. Make eye contact with your partner at every dead ball. Come together during time outs at the ends of games.
7. Hustle.
