Along those lines, I want to share a quick story. I was at a collegiate camp and one of my clinicians told me during my sit period that I had called the most fouls in the crew and that "you don't want to be known as the guy who calls the most fouls on the crew." I remember thinking they seemed like no-brainer calls and they were all in my PCA.......However, I was told that at camp you do what your court clinician tells you and never argue, just say "OK" or "yes sir" or "thank you" so that's what I did. He said the next session I don't even want to know you are out there other than by seeing you out hustle everyone. So I worked on positioning very hard (sprinted on fast breaks to beat plays, brisk jog from C to C, etc... and didn't call a single foul for the next 7 minutes. On several occasions, my partners called into the dual coverage areas and got the fouls that needed to be called. When my session ended, this clinician jumped out of his chair and trotted to me and gave me a world class high five and said how awesome I was. I was rated #1 by this particular clinician because I didn't call anything.
