I agree with this philosophy. Referee is the easiest live ball position. You are fresh out of class, so your rules knowledge is going to be ahead of your mechanics and getting used to the flow of the game. The umpire can help if you need enforcement or signal help.

For new basketball officials going into football, I preach to take that dam whistle out of your mouth!
