Seriously though, welcome! Officiating basketball is a lot of fun (at least for me it is). I've always found that when just starting out, or trying to move up, the best way to train is to get reps. You can watch all the videos you want, but nothing will substitute for live reps. Work hard and have fun!!

Welcome to the better forum! I've never bought a starter pack so I can't recommend that but it could work. When I started out I bought some things from a local store with basic Smitty gear but I returned most of that stuff and bought stuff online. I like Purchase Officials Supplies cuz they have treated me well with all my orders and returns.
You say you are trying to learn the "rotations". I think you mean "switches"; rotations are what happen in the three-person system when the ball is in play and the Lead rotates to the strong side. Switches are dead ball actions based on who call the foul, where the inbound is, etc. Let us know if you have any questions!

BetterRef.com - Know the Rule. See the Play. Make the Call.
60 Seconds on Basketball Officiating NBA Video Rulebook this one is really good for looking at plays and it has voice-over, however you would have to ignore the section on travels, and the restricted area plays. If your state gives you access to Arbitersports.com, the NFHS Central Hub also has some great training videos on it. http://nfhs-basketball.arbitersports...t/105407/Video Last edited by swkansasref33; Fri Nov 06, 2015 at 03:21pm.
