If someone had to have two camps in the summer to pick you up, then what are his motives. You better hope you get games on the "main court".


Also this is philisophical only, you may be percieved as an "NBA guy" and it may hurt you if you are trying to get in leagues that are run by ex "college officials"...........

Otherwise I agree with everything I read on this post..........

In the case of the Carolina's Conference, a young, athletic, good-looking official does have a chance of getting picked up without much experience. But, if on first impression Joe Forte isn't really impressed, there also the possibility of wasting your $$$ to fill slots at a subsequent camp. You really need to get a feel of where you stand after the initial camp before committing to any of his subsequent camps.

Another camp to consider for someone in North Carolina is the D3 Super Camp at the University of Richmond June 23rd-26th. A good number of officials who get picked in the 2 conferences running that camp end up on Joe Forte's staff. Nolan Fine, one of Joe Forte's top obsevers, attends the D3 Super Camp every year.
