Wow...now there's a sweeping generalization for you. And one that I completely disagree with. Those assignors jobs depend on who they put on the floor each season...they have the "right" (for lack of a better word) to expect you to prove yourself each season.

Having said that, I find it hard to believe that a JuCo assignor wouldn't realize that going to a "higher level" camp is a pretty good thing and accept that as their proof that you are working on your game.

And for doubleringer - I found myself in a similiar situation several years ago. When the assignor (who I get along with sooooo well) called me and asked why I wasn't signed up for the camp, I pulled out my notes from the previous summer's camp and read back to her the comments her evaluators gave me. Things like "Why the f--- are you here? There's nothing we can teach you." And "Why are you wasting your time coming here again? You need to go to a different camp." Pretty much ended the conversation right then and there. And yes, I'm still on the roster - or at least was. We'll see come next August!
