Evaluating

[streetball]

I was at a camp over memorial weekend and had a varsity/college official evaluated me and gave me some great advice about philosophy of the game and game management and I learn a lot from him. Last year he has seen me at a camp and evaluated me and has told me that my arm is not straight enough and that I have not made any improvement from the last time he seen me.

He told me that my arm is not straight enough when I make my calls for fouls and violation. I have tried to make it straighter during rec. league but seem like I can’t do it.

When I make my call my arm goes up toward the 2 o’clock or 10 o’clock, he wants it up toward the 12 o’clock. I don’t know if I can break this habit if that is what’s going to hold me back to the next level.

Is this something that you evaluators look at when evaluating?

What can I do to fix this habit if that is going to hurt my chances to the next level?

By the way this evaluator is also the president of our association and he is the one who will make that decision whether am ready to move up or not.
