I like hoops refs that come over to football, though not so much the other way around. I'm not talking about young guys that work a season or two then jump into hoops but older guys with 10+ years that come over. There are exceptions, of course, but...

One of the things hoops will help you with is whistle control. You've got it and will find yourself more comfortable carrying your whistle in your mouth. The other thing is that back judge is a position made for hoops officials -- lots of judgment calls (adv/disad) that require quick decisions and hustle. Not that other positions don't have the same but things blow up FAST in back judges' worlds.
