Am I sick in the head??

From my perspective, basketball officiating is the most challenging, but also the most fun. I am probably a better umpire than a ref, but I still prefer to officiate basketball. It is more challenging physically. And mentally there are so many things to look for, it can seem overwhelming. I find it very rewarding.

As Ref in PA said, game management is more demanding. A baseball manager will come out and argue a call. A basketball coach is more likely to try and "work" you on the sidelines. You have to listen but you also have to know when enough is enough. Since you have experience doing other sports, I am sure you will manage that part well.

The other nice thing about basketball, no 3 hour games in the blistering sun.
