I don't know if a 1st year guy is comfortable with the mechanics or not, but any first year official should want to learn more at a camp than wether or not he should raise his arm for an OOB call. If athleticism, stature, game awareness, game management, handling of coaches and players, judgement, concentration, focus, positioning, etc. are "advanced mechanics" then I think all officials would want to learn the "advanced emchanics" regardless of their comfort level with the authorized NF mechanics and rules.

Gee, I don't know where I said anything that disagrees with
any of this. But I am fairly certain you can find a camp
that focusses on HS mechanics, 2 or 3 man, and will also
help you grow in all the areas you mention. And they won't
tell you it's cool to not raise your hand. You aren't trying
to tell us that you need to go to a college camp for this
stuff, are you?
