I did baseball first and very shortly after picked up basketball. I found the learning curve to be steep. Basketball demands as many calls and the same quickness as a plate umpire has to make, all while running up and down the court. This makes reffing as demanding in terms of judgment and more demanding physically as umpiring.
Game management is also challenging, although in my state more coaches are ejected in baseball than in any other sport besides soccer (and soccer has nearly twice as many). Part of the challenge is dealing with obnoxious coaches after having run around the gym for 90 minutes.
