Thanks for the replies. There was no dispute from me during camp, just a nod and 'ready to move on to the next comment'. I really appreciated all the feedback that came to me from camp - now I need to work hard to make sure and improve in a few key areas.
Part of post-processing the camp experience is putting these comments 'in their right place'. I am always happy to improve my positioning and judgment on the court and don't want to stifle any evaluator from giving comments. The call, based - of course - on my description, seems to have been correct; at least, noone is disputing my understanding and application of the rule in what I have described. {let's see,
should I tell them the defender hit the dribbler in the head with extended hands? ...nah!
}
The replies focused on the fact that the criticism came from an evaluator, so as for comments I think I could make at camp, perhaps there could be a conversation like this:
Evaluator: "That OOBs should have been a bump!"
Me: "Ok, the on one the far sideline across from you?"
Evaluator: "Yes, the defender bumped the dribbler and caused the OOBs!"
Me: "Ok. On that play - given that I had a good look at what was taking place, do you think that something in my demeanor gave you less confidence in my call?"
...and then take what they have to say or 'leave it alone'. In other words, try to glean some comments about why they lost confidence in my ability to make the call given my better position on the play. I walked away from that first game a bit down on my ability to make the right call, and I think that was not beneficial. I think I attended camp a bit too willing to let someone mold 'my image of myself' as an official when, in this case, I should have been a bit more self-defensive in my thinking (while just as silent verbally). This evaluator didn't even fill out the camp form I handed to them, simply wrote down a few comments on a separate piece of paper. I think what I learned from this evaluator is that ignoring some comments is ok.
