I cannot speak for every camp and certainly cannot speak for every camp in this area, but usually we do not tell anyone that sort of thing. I really cannot even think of any college camps that says that kind of thing either. Of course when you have a camper or two that tend to "ya but" clinicians or not listen to them or interrupt them when talking to several campers at once, then yes I can see that being the case. But not the case in the situations I am talking about. And I am talking about what they are doing on the court, not communicating in a teaching session between games or during a timeout. I am strictly talking about why an officials seems to have a problem communicating basic stuff with their voice like where the ball is out of bounds after a stop clock, communicating that a sub cannot come into the game or instead of a basket counting they have a team control foul. Just kind of taken confused why even veterans do not do this even in situations that they know them not speaking up can be a problem.
