1. Good Uniform - don't do things that will stand out like black socks if you are wearing shorts. I used to live in that region of the country. Depending on your physical condition think about your shirt. A lot of officials wear shirts that are a size too big and are not tailored. If you can do it, try to get a fit more towards the way the NBA officials wear.
2. Be in shape and hustle.
3. Perfect your mechanics in front of the mirror so they are near perfect on the court.
4. Listen and take "yeah, but" out of your vocabulary during camp.
5. Hope and pray that you get a screwed up game at camp. If you get a nice game what does that really say about you as an official? Many times not a lot. If you come out smelling like a rose in a bad game (kids with attitudes, intentional fouls, goaltending, block/charge(s)) it will make you look better.
6. Show courage and ref your primary like it is going out of style. Remember you really have to ref no-calls as well as calls.
