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.

Mick, I wasn't talking about the fed camps specifically,
but every HS or college level camp I've attended has
included good rules & mechanics lectures to go along with
the games. The judgement part comes when you get to review
your game tape with an evaluator. (The more you're
reamed the more you learn
)
Maybe I've just been lucky...
