First of all one needs to learn how to watch tape and break a game down which is another thread we could start. Second unless I have a tv game I take a vcr and plug it into one of the teams cameras and thats how I get my tape. Essentially you need: vcr, bag, rca audio and video cords, vcr tapes and a thats about it.

Been doing it now for 2 seasons. Amazing what you can learn.

How many officials were at this camp? I heard this was a good camp also.... Were they all able to fit in the room even with J.B.'s big head?

I think I'm gonna be sick!

ROTFLMAO!!
Damn,will you and mick quit it.I just had to add a truss to that list of the things that us ol' folks need!

You wouldn't believe how hard I looked for something, anything, that was throwing up to reply to Rutledge's conceited post! That's great Dan!

BTW, this one's for you!

I think today, a new age has been born on this forum!

Now just add a pair of shoes and a pair of pants, and we're set for life!

No reply on earlier post, just curious if J.B is always so full of himself.

I didnt feel that was the case at all. J.B. could have gone on and on about his success but he didnt. J.B. could have name dropped all day....but he didnt. J.B could have charged more money than he does. Did you know they do zero marketing for that camp? All word of mouth. Did you know that for the first time in 7 camps J.B. finally put his name on the shirts to match the name of the camp?

Full of himself.....no way. Maybe what you saw was confidence and credibility. Try not to get confused there Doc.

My session had 30 campers and 15 staff. I heard the second session had about 60 campers but I dont know how many staff.

As you wrote in an earlier post, "you don't know me" so don't jump to a conclusion of my confusion", You were at the first 3 days not the last three. Secondly if you read my first post I wasn't even at the camp, I talked to some people who were. The times I have run across him he has been quite big headed, so I wanted to see if it was that way at his camp also. You offer a different opinion and I respect that.

I was considering on going to this camp but the few times I have run across J.B all I heard was "I did this on my own, got no help from anyone" over and over again.. When questioned on a rule he was very defensive, like how could he be wrong.

So I am glad it appears this didn't come out in the first session....

Good Point.

Bottom line....You should go. You dont spend that much time listening to J.B. anyway. Most of the time is on the floor working with several different staff members.

Just for the record, JB is like a mentor to me and mentors and tutors so many others in their officiating careers. I have the utmost respect for him and what he is all about. Absolutely on of the few people that I can count on one hand that I absolutely and totally respect for what he stands for and does. He's not perfect, nor am I or anyone else for that matter, but he is one if not the most genuine individual I know in basketball officiating.

Thanks for listening to my response of this unfair and NOT constructive criticism. I don't understand why anyone would post on this board and talk bad about other officials. We are all one big "family/fraternity" no matter what level we are at and we all represent each other. Its no wonder why officials don't get treated with respect due to the lack of respect officials give to each other and the constant bad mouthing that takes place.

Enjoy the journey.
