If that statement is *really* true then you need to find
better basketball camps to attend.
Dan,
I don't get out much, but the Fed camps I know of do not stress rules, or judgememt as much as I would like. The emphasis is on mechanics.
If you ask about a rule, you'll certainly get an interpretation, but the knowledge of mechanics is the predominant issue.
Maybe that's a Midwest characteristic.
