Any advice for a new guy in Basketball? Any thing specific to tranistion from football to basketball?
Thanks!

Were you the R in football?

You want to stop the play on an infraction with the whistle, unlike in football, so that will be the biggest adjustment.

I know a lot of guys that have made the opposite move and they suffered through a lot of accidental whistles when they started football.

Having worked other sports makes it easier.

Where in AZ are you at?

I'm in Phoenix.
