Or complain when they were T'd up and complain that they were perfect human being and the big bad officials hurt their feelings.

Clinicians even in some situations have fans yelling at them. It does not take a rocket scientist to figure out that the campers are being evaluated. But as usually the normal public are so stupid they do not realize there is a difference between being taught how to referee and being in a camp to get hired for a very specific conference.

If it happens at the AAU camp, what do you think happens with guys with all kinds of different agendas like getting paid to want to get better?

Rut..thnaks for all of your insight on this topic of AAU tourneys..it lets a young offical know that this non-sense goes on all over!
