Basketball vs. Football

[Kelvin green]

I referee both sports. never actually looked to see which one is larger however, There are the same manuals for BB as there is FB---
I think football has more rules however you dont use them all every game (there are some real obscure ones) and if somebosy does not remember there is somebody on the crew that does. There are lots more penalties with each of the enforcements.. basic spot, end of run, but you can carry the cheat card on to the field....Football requires judgement but in some ways it's easier to call---

Basketball has less rules, but most of them are used each night on the floor, especially in girls or 8th grade and lower. Requires lots of judgement on evry play...

All in all two different sports-and it's like comparing apples and oranges. I like them both. I would pay 200 bucks to officiate a good HS football game or basketball game right now!
