That is just wrong!

Although they are kind of expensive, Officiating.com's 2 and 3 man mechanic DVD's are great. Dont be nervious, go out there, relax and rock and roll.

Good Luck,

Tom, you're right!

Clips -- the best thing to do is find a mentor, and as Smitty said, go and watch others' games. Also, read everything you can get your hands on, and keep trying different things as you hear about them. For the first year or so, I wouldn't watch a lot od D1 or NBA ball on TV. Things are so different that this can just confuse the heck out of you.
