This quote right here shows that improving officiating on the local HS scene was very low on the priority list. That camp director is getting paid to provide officials, and probably the only money he expended was for some food and drinks and maybe some travel expenses for his observers.

If you ever talk to NBA guys, they will tell you they hate the college camp business. Ed T. Rush was trying to change that mindset when he was supervising the PAC 12. Too bad he lost his job before he could really make an imprint.
