Camps in Full Swing ...............

[Jeremy Hohn]

2 camps down for me and one to go. I am attempting to go on the Women's side, and some things they have mentioned are getting to the "home" positions at all 3 areas when we begin officiating. Having the Lead official become more active on pressing situations and not running to the baseline.

Also Trail position being one "slot" over from the "slot" where the ball is being brought up, and not totally on the opposite side of the floor.

C needs to also be ready to help quicker when the ball comes to his side, even in one-on-one situations. The worst thing that can happen is for a single matchup to go unofficiated right on the C side just as it turns away from a trailing "T".

Hope this helps....

Headed to FL for the last of 3 camps. Attended one in Stillwater OK which was a great tune up, and one in DFW area. The DFW camp was athletically superior with the level of play, but the OK camp was better taught.

Sitting in the Houston airport about to board for FL. Will post feedback from that camp later...

If you go to a camp in April there may be more games then officials to cover
If you go to a camp in July there may be more officials than games to cover

I went to camp last month in SC. It was an IAABO camp for HS 3-man mechanics. We had 11-13 games per person in 3 days plus one morning of work. Great camp, but my legs were dead the final day.

I learned that my 10 second count is way too fast when I go down the floor, I talk too much reporting to the table, and I am too close when calling from the C or T tableside. On a plus side, I was told I have strong mechanics, decent positioning on the floor and good hustle.

That's way too many games to work in a camp setting McMac!!

3rd & final camp is complete, I think I'll grow a mustache

I talked with the camp director and he agreed with that sentiment. He typically tries to have 8-10 games per person. But we had 3 officials go down with injuries and a couple of no shows.

I agree. I only had 1 1/2 games this past week at a 2 day JUCO camp. But it was a great time and well worth it, even with so little games.

i say this in jest but you guys must be old lol i worked a camp earlier this summer and ran 10 games in 2 days and learn tons from it i enjoyed the fast paced atmosphere
