Most referees are good people who like and take an interest in kids just like you. And just like you, they want a fair game for both sides. Rarely, you may find a truly one-sided official.
Every game begins with a jump ball at the center of the court, in which a referee tosses the ball into the air, and one player from each team attempts to direct the ball to a teammate.
The referee tosses the ball vertically upwards between 2 opponents at the centre circle. The ball must be tipped (not caught) by one or both of the opponents, only after it reaches its highest point.

A dramatic incident, however, following a game in which I officiated as a referee, changed my perspective on victories and defeats.
The clock stops when the referee's whistle blows. It stays stopped if free throws are being taken and starts again when the ball touches a player on court - so you get a full 40 minutes of actual basketball play.
However, there are certain rules that teams must play by in order to create a fair game. Referees police the action of the game and blow a whistle to indicate violations.
Let the assistant or assistants talk to the teams encouraging them and you referee.
Also, tell to players to communicate and recognize when someone makes a great pass by pointing and saying, ‘nice pass'.
Ejected -When a player or coach is ejected, the referee(s) sends him to the locker room and out for the rest of the game. Someone gets ejected if he has two technicals or has tried to hurt another person.

Whoever rebounds takes the ball out of bounds, hands it to another coach (acting as a referee), and is handed the ball back to inbound.
The defense can be moving and still draw a charge. If a player on defense has what referees call initial guarding position (both feet and the torso facing the opponent), he is in legal position to draw a charge if the offense slams into him.
No holding, tripping, hitting or pushing is allowed. Referees control the game. If a player commits more than five fouls, they are sent off the court for the remainder of the game.
