A coach even a mother couldn't love :(

3. Find the first possible opportunity to unload the *******
4. If he doesn't have an assistant, even better as I would forfeit the game

Any thoughts?

I'd avoid 1-4 and go with:

5) Officiate the game
6) Inform the camp director

I agree. Getting involved in too much stuff at a camp.

Peace

What did your evals have to say about that game?

assuming the players aren't on the roster and need to be added, just start issuing Ts. This may be an exception, but I have never worked even a summer league that specifically discarded the roster rules.

I don't remember the last time I did a summer where there actually was a roster.

Yeah, summer and camp games are pretty freelanced, but if they aren't on the bench, in uniform, or arriving late and the same, I'm not letting them in the game -- at least not without the other coach's approval. If they say, "hey, there's no book," I'll say something like, "we're going to pretend there is and what you started with (or who came late legitimately) is what you have for the game."

Just remember, you wouldn't dare let a JV team (just for example) put in a college player. Why would you let them put in a jr. high player?

The coach should look at you as if you are from Mars. The two camps that I've done so far this summer didn't have rosters and didn't keep individual fouls. Only the running score and team fouls were charted.
As others have already said, it's a poor idea to try to get involved in something which doesn't concern you.

Because the jr high kid may be permitted to participate. The camp could be for kids age 12-18 or something like that.
