Only one time where it didn't. I used to officiate a men's league that was comprised of almost all former D1 (a lot only a few years removed), ex-Euro and ex-NBAers. That league was tough to keep up with, especially since it was 2 man. Games were typically in the 130's, 140's with a 22 minute running half clock.

Safe to assume you and your partner didn't switch on every foul in those games? :eek:

Advice from a 1st yr ref
 
Carsongamer:
As a newbie ref the one bit of advice that I can give you is this..you've come to the right place looking for help. These guys&gals are great... they'll set you on the right path to becoming a good official, and will always be there to help you with questions on rules, mechanics, game management, etc. Many of these same forum members who responded to your OP have given me tons of good solid advice and direction this past season (my first) and were a big part in my having a successful rookie year.
Good luck with your career and welcome to the forum.

Unlike Mark T. DeNucci, Sr., who keeps his old rulebooks, and casebooks, in his attic, sorry, I mean his library.

Travel
 
These posts got me thinking about a travel call. A1 with ball, stationary, loses balance, touches floor with ball while holding on with two hands and pushes himself back up. Does not move pivot. I know A1 can touch the floor with a hand while holding the ball and keeping his pivot, but I was looking for some clarification on this situation. Thank you!

there's no rule against it.

In fact, there's a specific rule / case allowing it.

The best thing that I can say is that your area may have an instructional summer league for middle school students. See if they have referees or a camp that goes along with this. In my area they did. You need to learn the rules and see plays. Only after you have seen the same sort of occurrence will you truly be able to tell what has happened. The advantage to this is that because its instructional, the coaches understand that you may be learning as well. Not sure what area you are in but ask the officials that you work with. Also try and pick their brains on plays that you have questions about but do this during a time out, half time, or after the game.

See plays, and have fun.
