I've been toying with the idea of joining the officials' ranks most of my life. As a young child, I wanted to be an umpire more than anything. Now, basketball is the sport I have a passion for. I work with a women's basketball team and have gotten a great understanding of the rules and concepts. Here's my question for you all:
I'm starting from scratch. Where do I find comprehensive, not-to-hard-to-understand rule books? Officials Manuals? I'm a book worm and if I can get my hands on some good manuals, it will do a great deal to prepare me to go out and join an association and prepare for the examination and all those other steps.
What other things are there for a 100% novice to do? I'm currently running everyday to work off my big ol' gut. While I'm still hefty-looking, I am having a great deal of success running and am gaining more stamina and endurance daily.
Thanks in advance!
