youngbballref,

Talk with other officials. Find out who some of the more respected officials are; contact some of those and find out when and where they will be reffing next--then go watch.

The more of these type of officials you can observe and learn from the more opportunitites you will have to improve. This is often refered to as finding a mentor (someone you trust, admire who is well recognized as a good official and who is willing to take the time to help you along the way); one of the best things that you may do in advancing as an official.

Good luck, and we look forward to you reporting back.
