1) Game management by refs means they know they have a foul to give.

2) Get the foul when it occurs.

3) Since the foul occurred (as I recall, correct if wrong) above the free throw line and 3 pt line, we have a freedom of movement foul. It is immediate, no let's see if they can play through it. So ref blew it.

4) Off topic - Official's Grade for 2008 D1 Tournament - 68% That percent is what the crews got. It is not an individual score. You are a team on the court.

5) NBA refs probably average 2 hr pregame, view video of games worked and graded every game. In a league by themselves. The rest of us need to remember what league we are in --the minors.

Ronald - Do you have any other notes, insights, feedback, etc from this camp? I really wanted to make it down but had a family wedding. I'm doing the Next Level Camp at Villanova which will probably espouse the same ideas, etc so want to know what to look forward to.

Let me know, thanks!!

I took notes and can share them. Is the appropriate manner to share them in a general discussion or by pm?

I am not a member of the Court but the instructors are.

I have never been to any camp as I am just a JV/rec ball guy.

Biggest tool is video breakdown.

Not good enough to know definitions--must master definitions.

Let me know how to share notes or instructor's insights.
