Unless your association is really hard-up for refs someone has seen something in you to put you into varsity ball so soon after you got back....
The PC on the baseline drive - Dont beat yourself with this. Remember that there is no time and distance when defending the dribbler. Was the D moving toward the dribbler when contact was made? Had he had legal guarding position before he moved? Was the distance between D and the baseline 3ft or less? These are the things that count in your call.
Toes on the baseline Here the no call crowd would let it go. By letting it go one sets up other refs for trouble. By letting it go you are cheating in favor of the team that violated. IMO, you need to be quick in your turnaround of the ball. Tweet, point and call the color, spot, hand the ball to the inbounder and start your count.
Did you ever play basketball man? - At this point I dont know what I would do. Maybe just say yes and let it go at that.
Remember the number What can I say but take your time. We all make mistakes.
