Anyone here going?

If so I'd like to meet up sometime during the week to put a few names to faces.

Dribble, what should I expect. Are the clinicians totally egotistic and like to degrade the campers like some other NBA camps, or is this more like a tryout camp where they are a lil more business like.

It IS NOT a recruitment camp and they are very adament about that. It is strictly a teaching camp and they are very happy to teach, fun group of people.

Having said that I know a guy who was identified at the camp a few years ago and started working summer ball for the NBA. Did it not work out for him in the end but it started at Coast to Coast in Vegas.

They're the most professional group of officials I've ever met. You may hear something you might not like, but it's said in the best possible way and definitely for your benefit.

Definitely don't go in with the expectation that you're going to be chosen for the NBA. Like w_sohl said, it's a teaching camp and not an identification one.
