I insisted POI with team control in affect. And I was correct. Sad part was a veteran partner disagreed (I overcame that because I insisted) and then after the game, even the clinician said I should have used the AP arrow.
I did not go back to that camp this year. That was garbage.

You have so called veteran officials who have full varsity schedules, and work the post season that flat out don't know the rules. I see these same guys working the state finals. Many are grossly out of shape, can't get up and down the court, and have poor mechanics (We are told at the beginning of every year you won't work post season if you don't adhere to proper mechanics). I had one state certified clinician openly profess the "do as I say, not as I do" mantra. This is why I and many others are going the JUCO route. Why work hard to get a sectional or above when that same effort can be put into the next level.
