I'm going on a clinic the day after tomorrow, with Alan Richardson I'm really looking forward to that

I learned a lot at the SEC Camp in Las Vegas and came away with just that thought!!!!!

I found that the Coast to Coast camps have been fantastic and learned a ton, plus it's great hearing the war stories from the NBA vets.

I went to the IAABO 3-person camp in Orlando last year and thought it was a waste of money. If you're new to 3-person or wanting to break into varsity or college (one college assignor was there), then it might be a good learning experience, but otherwise they don't teach you a whole lot and I didn't think the feedback really helped enhance my game. I apologize if it sounds like I'm tooting my own horn, but I don't like hearing afterwards that I did a great job and them leave it at that. For the money I pay, I want my game dissected.

Crazy Voyager, do you know if Alan Richardson is coming to North America anytime in the future? I'd actually love to go to a FIBA camp because *knock on wood* I'd love to officiate international ball one day. Career-wise I could never dedicate myself to pro ball in the States full-time, but the Olympics and world championships only happen every few years, so I could definitely squeeze those in if I was good enough to be chosen!

I don't know acctually, I havn't got a schedule. But if I find one I'll post it up here (or pm/mail) you

I'm definetly doing better then the referee team who called my game this morning (yeah I'm a player too), I have the call of the day

Block by our PF, clean, no call (good ref)
other team gets it and puts it up again, our PF jumps up and blocks again (the ball must be a good 30-40 cms off the players hand) the whoole gym is screaming, then the ref steps out with a fist up
he has called a foul, and if he have blown his whistle NOBODY heard it (not even the players on the court, they kept playing)

If you mess the call up and for some reason can not admit it was wrong and rule it as a bad whistle, then at least blow your whistle! Bah, bad bad bad ref, but we won (after a really good game)
