Which camps are folks attending this summer? Anybody ever been to the Super 64 Adidas camp in Las Vegas? I recieved an invite to that camp, and am going to go. There should be some GREAT players/teams competing there. I am also attending A Verne Harris camp at the Unversity of New Mexico. If anyone of you are going to be at these camps it would be a pleasure to meet you.

dhodges007 Wed May 12, 2004 09:21am

I was at the Adidas tourney last year and will be doing it this year, but with Coast to Coast. Great ball and a lot of familiar D1 coaches. Have fun in Vegas!!

tnroundballref Wed May 12, 2004 09:29am

I am going to the Bob Gibbons @ UNC, Duke and NC State - it's a free camp with lots of college assignors present.

Also going to the IIOC in Murfresboro, TN. This camp is sponsored by John Guthrie.

I would also like to meet any officials within the forum if you are attending either of these events.

I'm trying to remember the last time I saw a referee dressed like that. I think it was on ESPN Classic when they were replaying games from the 70's :)

The free camps you just sign up for... Bob Gibbons is definately closed... if you want, i can send the app for the Miss St. camp June4-6, just give me your email.

the IIOC camp is invitation only, so someone in the SEC system has to have seen you work.

refTN Thu Apr 21, 2005 06:41pm

Just to throw my two cents in. The IIOC camp for the SEC officiating program in Murfreesboro,TN I have no doubt in my mind is going to be one of the best. From everything I understand it's like bootcamp for refs. There will be a lot of NBA officials there because the SEC uses a modified version of the NBA mechanics. The only thing is you have to be invited, but if you know a guy who knows a guy you could have a reasonable shot at getting in ( that's how I did it). The SEC is interested in finding young officials and training them. That is why in most part they hold this camp.

Sean Corbin who is now in the nba came out of this camp. He was noticed there when he was 19. he was hired by the SEC when he was 22 and was brought on by the nba when he was 26. This camp knows how to find the right guys.

If you plan on wanting to be a ref and do it for a living this is where I suggest you go. Work hard to find someone who can get you in and do it. That is what I did and i now have a great opportunity to fulfill my dream and now have an even better chance at making to the nba

P.s. I threw the Sean Corbin story in there because I, like him will be attending the camp at 19 yrs of age and I hope this is some kind of great carma or whatever it might be

tnroundballref I would like to get your info and also would like to know what assosciation you are in.

Gerry Pollard runs a camp at Southwest Missouri State (soon to be Missouri State) June 17-19. Gerry's out of the Dale Kelley regime and runs a great camp! Lots of D1 officials on staff that aren't afraid to tell you how it is. All games are 3-whistle and everyone is on a crew of 5. Plenty of court time without abusing the body.

Email me and I'll send you the full info. and Gerry's email address.

Derosa is not having camp at Rio this year. This from an e-mail he sent....

Here is a quick update concerning camps this summer. There will NOT be a camp at Rio Grande this summer. As of this date the only camp we have scheduled will be held at Kent State University on June 17 - 19. With only one camp most likely the session will fill in a short period of time.
I will be present at this camp from start to finish with the exception of a prior commitment early on June 18.

refTN.... yeah, it's hectic at IIOC but I enjoyed it. It's all NBA officials that are evaluating you and you actually learn a lot from them. Some are MUCH tougher than others... but it's all for you to be able to learn and trust me, you remember it afterwards too. You're up from about 6:30 in the morning til about 12-12:30 sometimes at night. So it's a great experience and I would absolutely love to go back this year, but just can't afford it since I'm a college student. ANYONE want to donate to the me going to camp fund... LET ME KNOW! HA I'll even take sponsorships!
