"The best officials go unnoticed."

Just add it to the list of hackneyed camp speak that is often false.

Often times the clinicians at some major camps are the guy people here do not think "Want to be seen." So that might be a high school thing in some circles, but I cannot recall ever being told this during a college camp. But then again if it had, it was a very long time ago.

I'm guessing it was originally used to convey a valid point, but that point was misunderstood and/or passed along. The lessons learned from the old game of telephone apply, and are magnified because it's something that gets passed along by people who didn't understand the original point.

The valid points?

Don't be a pioneer.
Don't grab the crap end of the stick.

Do I have to be an administrator use that language?

Brad removed the filters years ago.

So no, you don't have to be an administrator to use that language.

(and dammit, I meant to edit that before I sent it.)

Isn't that true of so much good advice? Those who don't understand it re-frame it and turn it into nonsense.
