Suggestion to new officials

[BBall_Junkie]

Of course you do because you know all there is to know about basketball officiating.

I already pointed out "one comment" that infers rules knowledge in your perspective isn't that important and would not be the first time you made a similar inference. I can promise you, that most good and upper level officials do get into the rules. Perhaps you should pay more attention to Tynes' messages. Just a suggestion.

I can promise that I have been to as many if not more camps than you and I have seen campers get ripped for misapplication of a rule as well as positioning, and game management etc. I also know many guys who have had games pulled or been fired for missed rules application (the MSU/ Mich replay guy might know something about this)

And newer officials should be doing just what the OP cat said he was doing... studying the rules because the season has not started and he can not work on positioning but he can bone up on rules knowledge.

Debating this point with you further is going to pointless because I know exactly how you respond to all of this...so this will be the end of this thread.
