Other Forum members may suggest other approaches. My wife gave up, long ago, asking the question of, "Who's playing?" She knows that I watch b-ball games to study the officials:

What did the official call, and from what position - L, C, T, and his/her position to the play?
What was the game situation?
How did he/she communicate - with his/her partners, the players, the table crew, the coaches?
What did the calling official do, immediately after the call sequence - rotations, crew communication, putting the ball in play?

What did the non-calling partners do during the reporting sequence/procedure - rotations, communication with partners, players, coaches?

Perhaps the most important aspect is to try to understand the view that the officials had of the play. With the multiple angles, slow motion, and repeat views of the game, understanding the view of the official, rather than the camera and fan view, is most useful in trying to improve one's own performance.
