I have played basketball all through school and college. I thought I knew the game of basketball pretty well, I was wrong. I have learned so much and feel I have so much more to learn and try to read everything I can get my hands on. I find this can be a little overwhelming.

The statement above is probably the most common statement I hear with newer officials.

Yes many of us did. But the only way to get over that is to work games and see plays and situations. A lot of stuff takes years to grasp or to fully understand and that includes many rules. Most of what we do or call is basic. It is the unusual or the complicated that gets us in trouble, even veterans. Just keep working games and that will go away sooner than later. Also do not try to move up too fast, work what you can handle. The rest should take care of itself.
