New Ref Advice

If you are truely a noob then more than likely your first games are going to be of the rec league or non sanctioned middle school variety. You may have to clear it with those in charge but find a highly respected varsity or above official and have then literally work the game with you, as in follow you up and down the court. They can help get you in position and help get you looking at what you need to look at. It is much easier to learn doing it this way than have someone observe you and then talk during breaks or worse afterwards. This is better than even immediate feedback. Situations don't always present themselves in the same way again and the opportunity to learn is lost.
