Hey, I dont know if you guys remember me but I am a 16 year old kid trying really hard to become "good". I asked a question a couple weeks ago and you guys really helped me. First of all, you guys told me that parents and coaches would give me a hard time and also say dumb stuff. I have been working for 3 weeks now and have heard the dumbest stuff. There was one really stupid guy at a middle school game who made two "outsanding" (sarcasm in case your not catching on) calls. First was A1 walking ball up the court and hes yelling 3 seconds. Another one (same guy) was A1 throwsa ball in to A2 in backcourt with 8 seconds left in the game and since A was up at the time they were walking it up. With about 2 seconds left the guy is yelling 10 seconds. Anyways, the reason I am writing is I have a couple of questions that I know you guys can help with. I really want to become a great ref so what did you guys do to become great. Read the rule book three times? I just wanna know. Are there any really good books or websites that really helped any of you out I would like to know. Also, I want to go to a few ref camps in the offseason so I live in Atlanta, Georgia so do any of you know of some really good ones or a website I can surf. Thanks a lot guys.
