5 things
 
1. Work on 1 (maybe 2) aspects of the game, every game; try to get better at these.
2. Lose your ego; be willing to learn from those better or more experienced than you.
3. Go to as many camps as you can.
4. If you can't work, then watch.
5. Come to this site, ask questions, read and learn.

IMHO

I'm a 1st year basketball official, doing 9th grade and JV games (boys and girls). Longtime youth basketball coach, so I understand the game pretty well. Have officiated some rec games in the past.

What's your best advice for a rookie ref at this level?

Fire away...
If you dont know, don't blow.....if you can see the ball dont make the call. Work hard in your primary and know the rules and how to properly ajudicate them!!!! As others have said, watch plenty of tape and go to camp.

I think it's the opposite. It's easy to call contact. It's harder to make the right decision on whether or not we had a foul.

90% of the JV games I watch before my varsity game have too many fouls, sometimes by a third or half over what I think should be called.

But are they called both ways? :rolleyes:
