Join the crowd. Those who have watched, played, or coached, basketball may think that learning the "real" rules will be a "breeze", but it just isn't so. Keep at it. Learning the rules, that is, really learning the rules well, backward, and forward, will not be a waste of time. It will form a good foundation for the next steps, mechanics, game management, etc. Also, the casebook is just as important as the rulebook. Read it, and read it again, and again.
