Upstage your partner
Make a lot of calls you have to sell
Call a lot of them out of your area
Wave at the camera when it is on you
Smile
Make sure you are on the pre game and post game interviews
Stop by at half and see if the announcing crew has any questyions about the rules or calls you made. Sell out your partner on the ones he made.
Remember they showed up to watch you ref!

You're pure evil.

The only real difference to me is the TV timeouts. As the R, I found out when the TV TO's were to occur and let my crew know. We also identified who the "red hat" (the guy who tells you to play after the commercials) was and we took our cues to start play from him.

At half, we asked the red hat how we could get a copy of the game.

During play, it was a basketbal game and we just reffed it.

Don't make it bigger than it is.

I suppose one advantage is you can ask a coach if he wants to watch the rest of the game on TV.
