DON'T:
- Be a "yeah but" guy: "Yeah but HE told me to do it the other way!" You're probably gonna get conflicting advice, seek out the camp director to resolve these things without mentioning names.

I've got to tell my story on this one...
A few years ago at a camp, I had a most humorous experience. There were two evaluators on the game. They had positioned themselves on opposite baselines. As lead on one end, I was being told to move "this way" to get a better angle. As lead on the other end, I was being told to move "that way" to get a better angle. After a while (several trips down the floor and a few switches later) there was a timeout. One of them spoke to me about why I still kept going to the wrong spot. I then told him that the guy on the other end was contradicting his instructions and I couldn't keep track of which evaluator was watching me on which end of the court. They had quite the laugh out of that one.
