Glad I haven't been to any pro-am camps.
Simply Google "pro-am basketball" and look at all the various and diverse leagues/camps that call themselves "Pro-Am". There's leagues and camps using the name Pro-Am from coast to coast--from Springfield to San Fran. Some leagues have a few actual pros that play just to get some off-season exercise in; most are glorified rec leagues. The people officiating run the gamut too, from excellent officials to bodies picked up off the street. The bottom line still is......the majority are really no different than AAU-type summer rec league stuff imo. It's not gonna really help or hurt you as an official, unless you make the mistake of trying to adapt and use pro officiating concepts in NFHS/NCAA games.

JMO.
