A great camp to go to if you can afford it, but no what it is geared towards. I don't think they will be stressing a lot of NCAA stuff there. If you are really good and they decide to bring you in. You are off the NCAA path, permantly.

That's not true at all about working pro and college. You can do both and many do. For example, Brian Forte, son of NBA ref Joe Forte, refs in the SEC and refereed the finals in The NBA D-League Playoffs. That is just one of many who do that. Don't think that will be the case at Coast to Coast. Yes you will do NBA switches and if you choose to you can work without a lanyard and report with 2 hands, but those things don't mean anything compared to the quality instruction that you will get there. Cause at the end of the day those guys want you to do one thing and that is get plays right. Period.
