I certainly admire their skill and athleticism, but, as an HS official, I find it difficult to interpret and compare to what I do.

Drop on by, got a couple of guys you used to work with who can get you up to speed with NBA philosophies

Y'all watch the games together and get the play-by-play?

Almost never watch games for mindless entertainment. Plus, live TV doesn't have on demand instant replay.

They'll follow up on the NBA ref resource video of the game which includes a choice of many varied camera angles if there are plays worth reviewing. These camera angles aren't part of the TV broadcast feed.

That is the problem right there. The NBA game is vastly different from what we see at the NCAA and NFHS levels. The rules are also different. In fact, they differ so much that attempting to apply what the NBA does would be erroneous at the levels which I work.
The philosophy is not in accordance. See my previous comments on this forum to Ben Taylor.

The NBA is more in line with other levels than the other major sports. That is for damn sure.

I never get it when people keep trying to act like the NBA is so different in rules or philosophy when it is simply not true.

Well, except for traveling, continuation, legality of zone defense, the shot clock, bonus free throws, jump balls after the initial jump, and the numbers players can wear, you're right. It is pretty much the same game.

A foul is a foul. Legal Guarding Position is the same at all levels, the regular flow of play is essentially the same as far as how to officiate it. I think watching the NBA officials is highly useful for gaining insights on officiating, generally. They are the very best.

Continuation? What's different?
