The single best piece of advice regarding officiating any sport is in my signature line.

When I started as an official (basketball) 20-some years ago, I thought that I was the man after about two to three years. I knew the rules, I knew the mechanics, I knew the signals, I always made sure my uniform looked sharp.

An older official told me that every good official did those things - what seperates them from that point on is the little things you learn that help you look better and see things on the court better.

Since then, I have always strived to keep learning and trying to get better.
