I have been looking at this site for about a month now and I finally decided to join. The info that I have read in here has really helped clairify some things. A little bit about myself. This is my second full year of officiating basketball and football. I did do a few games in high school and my first year out but not much. I have my first Varsity basketball game coming up next week and am excited as well as a little worried. The gentelman that got me the game has seen me many times as well as worked with me and says I am ready and I also feel that I am ready for the step.

Once again thank you for all of the great info and if ever have question I now know were to come for the answer.

Referee the defense, call the obvious, protect the shooter and good luck.
