Thanks everyone for all of your advice.
I have now reffed some youth rec and men's rec. Things I've noticed or been pointed out to me: 1. Signals need work - particularly hand up when blowing whistle. 2. Having a hard time officiating play in the paint or at the basket, particularly on fast breaks. It's difficult for me to see/decide what's incidental and what's a foul. Add in I am missing contact with the body. I think I have a good angle, but maybe I don't. 3. Referee the defense. I have missed some travels, carrying the ball and double dribbles. I'm too focused on the defense I guess. Any tips are welcome. |

When I just started out, I found traveling very hard to pick up. It just takes time. Hang in there, make sure that you know the rules, and control the game.
Attend a camp if there is one still in your area. Good luck |

Just Make Sure That You're Alone ...
This may sound silly, but it works: Watch a basketball game on television with a whistle in your mouth. Sound the whistle, and give the appropriate hand signal (hand, fist, or held ball) in response to what you see on the television. It works. I promise.

1. Position your self to see ball handler, defender and space in between (get a good angle). 2. Stay far enough away from the play to see both feet and upper body without having to move your head or feet. |

Also, if you can, ask someone to film your games from a high-wide angle. This will allow you to see your positioning a little better as well as if you are hustling as much as you think you are (I have no reason to believe you are not). Not that you want to beat yourself up over it, but you can see calls you may have missed as well. Use this to teach yourself about better positioning and using that field of vision. |

A senior official told me basically, your arm is just like a balloon - every time you put air in your whistle your arm has got to go up for something - either violation or a foul. Helped me.

The evaluator told me. Talk about a tough job interview. He basically ran beside me for four games. The missed calls were part of the evaluation.
Good news is he thought I hustled and got into the correct positions most of the time. |
