Its not that I did not want to be HS certified but when I was in grad school (just graduated in May) my schedule did not allow me to attend meetings and classes because of my graduate schedule and travel schedule with the team.

Then try to at least get into JuCo. I know someone who was an athletic trainer at a Big East school. I know he worked intra-murals while in college. Don't know how much HS ball he did, but he would travel from NYC to Maryland to work JuCo ball. He's in the WNBA and D-League now.
If you're trying to by-pass HS ball (it can be done) then you need to spend a lot more time in formal camps and talking about on-court situations you encounter there. Leave all this Rec League drama behind when you leave the gym. Use it for $$$, but don't expect to learn much from it.
