Big Time HS holiday tourneys

[zeedonk]

Just watching a replay of the Old Spice HS tourney from last week in Ft Meyers, FL. Lots of big time teams and players during the week. A few questions came to mind while watching...

1- Tourney used 3 man crews- how are these assignments made? Is it local or do teams suggest a local official or two?

2- Have any of you participated in these types of tourneys? If so, are there any guidelines about how close to call the games? Do tourney directors view these events as showcases (ie lax on calls, let 'em play deals) or is it understood to call the games as you usually would?

While it was nice to see some of the big names from around the country, I was a little disappointed in the level of intensity in some of the games. Even the coaches seemed to be on best behavior...(St Pat's NJ coach Boyle actually wore a tie and only yelled at his team instead of everyone in the gym)

Any thoughts? Is this typical?
