thanks...

Quite simple google search. ;)

Not sure about mechanics though.

Attend an NBA or pro camp or work a city Pro Am league. You will get the Rule Book, Case Book, and Officials manual. Also you can join the IPABOA (International Association of Pro Am Basketball Officials) and they will send them as part of your membership. I know my Pro league assignor orders them from the league office.

Hey there, Could you send me your email address? I have a couple questions for you about the pro game as far as officials go. Thanks!

Here is a copy of the rules that you were asking for.

Yo, pro-guy, he asked for a rule book, not a new career.

ProAm leagues are basically just rec leagues in major cities. Take the "pro" part with a grain of salt. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Oh, the JUCO flunk out leagues.

For $475 you can attend my camp and I'll tell you that you're *just this* far away from being the next Joey Crawford.

Sorry, I'll skip it.

Yup, straight rec leagues for different ages using NBA rules.

Actually, I think the cat did ask for a rules book and mechanics manual.
