Yep, I was there first session. I stayed thru Thursday's camp tourney so I ended up there 6 days. Took off Friday AM.
You're comment about the Art vs. Science of officiating is dead on. Rules wise, the only thing covered was changes in NF for 2002 / 2003.
I didnt want to name drop either. We had college refs (all levels) and prominent Florida refs as clinicians. Everyone that I worked with knew their stuff and was very intereted in helping me improve. I actually got to work 2 games with college refs which was awesome. These are up and coming guys who are all in the SEC system I believe. The things I noticed about those guys....they are smooth. Their mech's are crisp and flawless. Their confidence in their calls and in dealing with players and coaches was strong.
I could go on and on. Again...if you are in your 2nd or 3rd year and know the rules but are wondering whats next.....If you are looking for teachers who are more of a coach than someone worried about you taking their games....If you want to learn game management and how to handle situations....THIS IS YOUR CAMP.
