Practical Advice

[BLS]

Any of you veterans out there have any practical advice for a rookie? These may seem obvious for veterans, but not so obvious for a new guy.

For example, a couple things I picked up already:

- Have a needle with you for pregame in case you need to let air out of the game ball.

- Tuck your whistle in your shirt when not on the court - keeps people from grabbing you by the lanyard, and ensures that your whistle doesn't get splatter when standing at the urinal.

- Wear black compression shorts under your pants in so it won't be so obvious if your pants rip.

What are some other "good to keep in mind" things?
