I too subscribe to Referee Magazine and find it useful and interesting. As ZMan said though, this magazine encompasses many sports, no just hoops. However, some of the other articles are a good read and applicable to what we do (game management, dealing with coaches, ways to become a better official, etc.). Referee Magazine also has advertisements for manuals, books, camps, uniforms, etc. if you're looking for other (or new) sources.

Two on-line sources I like are: www.ref60.com - Home of Sixty Seconds on Officiating and MyReferee (if you have an arbiter account).
