I officiate recreation league games for different age groups. 8, 10, 12 and 14-under co ed basketball. I try to watch as many high school games in my area as possible so i can see the mechanics of referees and also listen to how they report to the table, call fouls, etc. Even the way the whistle is used, i try to take note of that in my mind.
As a recreation league official (who has no training whatsoever because it is not provided nor is it required)want to learn some of the basic "no-no's" of officiating games.
In previous posts, i learned that there is no such thing as an "over the back call" and that you dont point your finger up and swirl it around when the ball doesnt make contact with the rin on a free throw (someone called it the toilet bowl)
Can i get input of commonly used mechanisms or terms that are incorrect? Im not really looking for anything very specific. Just common things that people like me at the recreation level normally do. It would help me out so I dont look like an idiot
Thanks
