Coach (Referee) Joe:
In the back of the Federation rulebook there is a section which decribes how many free throws for each type of foul. It is a valuable tool for learning the correct number of throws.
In spite of what many people think (coaches) every conceivable situation is covered in the rulebook and the casebook. Book learning is very important for the new official. When the rules are learned backwards and forwards, then coupled with strong use of proper mechanics will give you a tremendous step toward becoming a good official.
Then, you have to learn what to call and what to pass on. At that time you are on the road to becoming a great official.
