OK - I admit it. Reffing is much harder than I thought it would be.
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. |

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. |

If you're watching an NBA game, don't bother trying to call the travels.
