Shouldn't be that interesting,Ace. BktBallRef quoted you the high school rule,and how the NFHS wants it called.Straight from the rulebook.I quoted you the NCAA rule verbatim,and they tell you how they want it called,too. Unless you wanna ignore both rulebooks and make up your own interpretation,I think that you should follow the rules.Especially when both sets of rules have made it a "Point of Empahasis".You got some bad advice at your camp.Your best bet now.if you don't believe us,is to check with your supervisor,if you have one,on how he wants it called in your area.I doubt very much that he will tell you to go completely against the rulebook,but it's basically his job.I've heard some strange things on this forum before.:D

Summer leagues in Houston
 
Yeah, I am doing that too.
I finished one at 2nd Baptist a few weeks ago. Doing another at Champion Forest. Its a good league to work on mechanics and general game skills. I think some of these summer leagues can do more for you than many camps.

Damion, I will agree and disagree. The great thing about camps is that you get feedback on what you are doing. You can't get that in summer leagues or rec leagues. You can gain confidence though in those leagues which is 90% of what you need to call the varsity level games.

Damian Sat Jul 12, 2003 01:33am

You are correct but...
 
One of our senior refs invites some of us to call during the summer leagues. During that time, he works with us on everything from fundamentals to the small stuff that polishes us up. After several weeks two or three nights a week, my game has gotten a lot better. So, this situation has worked well for me.

Tim Roden Sat Jul 12, 2003 02:04am

So he makes an informal camp out of the situation. This is good.

You get lots of feedback in summer leagues and rec games. Unfortunately, it's all from coaches.http://www.deephousepage.com/smilies...inted_anim.gif

What you get from coaches is not feedback. It is criticism.
