Well football season ended and I started right into my basketball officiating. In one of my first games of that season, fast break down the side of the court and the offensive player steps on the side line. Silly me, thinking the wrong sport, do the football kill the clock signal as I catch myself starting to mark the out of bounds spot. I don't know that anyone noticed except for the other official I was working with (who also officiated football).

I remember laughing at an official who did this in a basketball game in which I was working as the official scorer. It's great to see a b-ball official waving his arms and marking the spot at a basketball game. Next thing you know, you're reaching for a bean bag on a loose ball.
This is going to be my first year officiating. I'll do football this fall and then basketball in the winter. I'm a little bit afraid of getting my signals crossed too.
