Well, let's do the math. I just paid $200 for a camp and had 4 games. That works out to $50 per evaluation. Granted, the clinicians were all D1 on the womens side and not a "local yokel", but they also stated up front that they would be focusing on floor positioning and mechanics...not rules...and that we needed to remember that "when in Rome...". They also stated their recall of NFHS rules may not be 100% acurate and to check with our local rules interpreter. Now, I learned a lot at the camp and got some fantastic pointers on floor coverage and techniques for us not-so-fleet-footed guys.

With the local guy, you get the local preferences/exceptions/customs on both mechanics and rules application. Would I ask for a game fee...no. Is the request unreasonable...not really...IMO.
