Also, perhaps we have better training camps here in Oregon, because I've been taught A LOT about when to cross over, and when not to, and what to do on the way nad what to do when I get there. I haven't mastered it yet, but it's available to anyone around here that is interested in moving up. [/B]

I wasn't talking about you specifically. I also wasn't talking about when to cross over or what to do once you get there. I was speaking more on how to progress across the lane (speed) and what to look at while you are doing it (where you are, where you are, where you are, now you are across) rather than crossing and immediately looking to where you are going to be once you cross. This is a small thing to some but you are on the west coast so I believe you have been schooled on it properly.
I will probably have to agree with you about the camps. The camps I've been to that have addressed this in depth have been on the west coast. I do know at least one guy from Oregon, I think his name is Dave something, and you probably do get better training than other places.
You might not know it but this is my first year on the east coast after moving from the west coast. On the west coast the basketball community overlaps so you probably know somebody that I know. Depending on the camps you've been to our paths might have crossed at the same camp.
