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.
