Help for Wannabe

[asby]

Hi all, I am interested in becoming an official for Basketball. I have done some research on how to get registered etc. Does anyone have any tips for books I should read, helpful hints, URL's to visit etc. When I get to the "official" officiating, I don't want to look like a dummy on the court. I would rather research, study, and practice prior to actually officiating a game. I would rather be a late starter than to jump into this looking like I just fell off the turnip truck.

All help/info will be greatly appreciated.
