How do the switches differ, if you don't mind breaking it down. Thanks.

In NFHS, report the foul and remain table-side as trail.

In NCAAM, report the foul and go opposite as center.

Fed seems more efficient....wonder why NCAAM do what they do?

for me I thought i was a little bored and didn't have as much to do since my piece of the pie just got smaller in 3 crew, but I soon realized it was just the opposite. You need to work harder and can concetrate on your area more in 3 crew. You have another official to work with and figure out. you are covering many different parts of the floor durring one posession.( due to rotations) I have to keep talking to myself about my PCA and what is giong on there. self talk has helped me alot to keep my focus so I dont' get lost. As has been mentioned, don't forget to call the game. the rest will come with time. BTW camp is the place to mess up. that is what you are there for. Our clinicians told us exactly that. don't try to be perfect, just call ball.

Leave the positions out since you can easily be the C tableside (in NFHS or NCAAW) or the T opposite (in NCAAM) after garden-variety fouls.

Maybe ask some questions but listen when the clinicians give you pointers. I had a couple say totally opposite things but no point in getting in a disagreement or having an excuse. "Shut up and listen" When your center step down toward the rim for the rebound and watch your primary but if you see a foul missed that might be out of your primary(not by much) then don't be afraid to call it. Be careful there as you can get chewed out for both.

Essentially, I've determined that the best result from getting opposite advice from clinicians (sometimes back to back) is hearing both sides of it and allowing myself to develop my own philosophy. Clearly, that only goes so far, but I'm more amused by "opposing clinicians" now than anything else. Used to annoy me....

I agree. They don't like Ya Buts. just listen

also get sleep, don't stress out about the games and just try to take in what you can. I kind of burned out my first camp but my understanding and techniques really improved as the camp went on. For first time campers it can be a big adjustment so just try to keep positive even if you make mistakes.

Based on your posts, I'm guessing it was this kind of camp.
