Getting Started

Once you get your mentor's old rulebook, I would go over Chapter 4 (Definitions) first and then continue with rules/chapters 1-3, 5-10. Once you get the definitions down, the other chapters build on Chapter 4. It is like the ABCs before building words. Like another official stated, start in the mirror in the bathroom or at a gym or dance theater. The more comfortable you are with yourself in the mirror, the better. Get as many games as you can so you can see the myriad of stuff that goes on in a game setting. Another important point in getting started is to get you some comfortable officiating shoes. Don't cheap with your feet regarding officiating. Basketball officiating is a moving avocation.
