Lots of experiences could help you be a good official
I agree that having played basketball at the level you are officiating may be helpful.
Playing experience helps since you understand the game from that perspective. Simarly, experience in the followiing roles and an understanding of what they want from officials would also be helpful.
Coach
Athletic Director
Assignor/Evaluator
Scorekeeper
Timer
Officiating other sports
Officiating other levels of play
Parent
Teacher
Preacher
EMT
etc.
However, all people really care about is whether the official is professional and good/fair/consistent. The experiences that shaped that official are just background.
