Evaluation of camp observer

[LarryS]

Maybe it is just the camps/evaluators I have encountered but I have always been told NOT to get in between players in a situation like this. I did it once and was ripped by the evaluation at camp and told by 5 other members on staff before the end of the day never to make that mistake again. One even said "Last thing your partner or partners need is to have a fight break out AND have you out cold from a haymaker you didn't see coming." They made it clear to get close, try to calm the situation verbally and be prepared to take numbers and administer the penalties should things escalate.

Now, if it is early and the first signs of a problem (players just jawing and not close) I will get between them...if we have tried that, have been talking and asking the coaches for asssistance and it still looks bad...I going to follow the sage advice of the camp clinicians.
