It's not so much about those weird plays that might happen once in the careers of 4 people, but rather understanding the rules and how you can apply the basic definitions of the game in every case.
This example shows that officials need to know what a try is, when it ends, what a basket is, how they're scored, and how end-of-quarter restrictions could alter the rulings. I read once early in my career that a basketball official makes some sort of a decision every 3 seconds. Personally, I think it's more often than that.
