Thanks!!!
First, congratulations and good luck!

Here’s what comes to my mind of what to keep in your mind:

*Same game just older – and possibly better – players.
*Remember your guidelines.
*Call what needs to be called (if there’s a choice between an “ant” and an “elephant,” get the elephant).
*Don’t screw up.

As for rules, you said you’ve been in the book for a while so that's good. Just remember whose rules you’re working with that night. On an NCAAW night I hide my NFHS rule book because I don’t want it cluttering my head and vice versa.
