Sorry, but I had to laugh as I read your description. Maybe because I remember what it was like the first time I stepped on the court (17 years old, college intramural game).

You've already learned the most valuable lesson = slow down. When you blow your whistle everyone has to stop what they're doing so there's no need to be in a hurry at that point. Even if it's a running time game, better to take a few extra seconds to process what you need to do.

Right now just concern yourself with blowing the whistle when you should. All the other stuff - especially mechanics - will come along with time.
