To be qualified to work any high school game the 18 hours of classroom instruction are required

It is great you have those resources available to you in SoCal. Watching videos that illustrate the correct application of the rules is awesome. I spend as much time as possible watching these. EOfficials has the great NCAA set available online. I also have noticed that the best officials at the 2 camps I work at each summer spend the most time in our break room watching the films of the NCAA and NBA examples of rule application. You can find people willing to help and develop officials anywhere. Glad you have found a good spot for you in SoCal, and that you are doing the Vegas camp this summer. Great things to do!
Remember, it is wasteful for veteran officials to spend 18 hours of clasroom training, but it is OK to spend 100's of hours on the Internet being jealous of the "LOCAA" folks and fighting about irrelevant nuances. I always thought basketball was basketball, whether it is 3rd grade or NCAA. We need Obama to weigh in here!
