Question
Hiya Bret i am 15 years old and i am 5ft 11 and i am new to basketball and i really want to work hard to become a professional but what i was wondering is 15 too late to start to play basketball
HI Arshad,
There is an old saying, it is never too late to start anything. You very well might have a natural talent for the game, and beginning at age 15 might not be a big deal. Work hard at it, remember doing well in school and getting good grades is always the number 1 priority. Good Luck!!

My expertise is in the art of Officiating Basketball and I can answer questions pertaining to basketball rules; youth level through CIF High School, NCAA college and NBA rules as well. I can either help define a specific rule for you, or interpret a specific rule to clarify how other officials and I view and call the game.

I have been a Basketball Official now for over 19 years, officiating at all levels. I have attended numerous training camps throughout the years in an attempt to constantly become a better official.
