Carolyn Gillespie was the name of the fill-in. She has done WNBA and is going to the Olympics with Billy (Mildenhall, the guy that got smashed). I thought they did a great job, considering either of them had never refereed players of that calibre before, and the fact that Carolyn did the women's game beforehand.
Thanks for the input. I'm getting a better idea of what a camp is like and hopefully the one I'm trying to put together. We will definitely have use of a video camera(or two) and have plenty of on-court drills rather than in the classroom. From personal experience, practical teaching is a lot better than verbal. I'm thinking of running it in conjunction with preseason training to benefit both the officials who attend, the players and the coaches to hopefully build a greater rapport between the groups.
Cheers
Matt
