More camp details

June 19, 2006

As promised, here's some more details on the UNM women's basketball position camp this week.
The top players will compete in an all-star game Thursday in The Pit from 9 a.m. to 10 a.m.
The second-best group will be competing Thursday in The Pit from 8 a.m. to 9 a.m.
About 100 players are set to attend the camp, although more spots are available and registration continues until the camp starts Tuesday.
Assistant coach Mike Terry, who coordinates all the Lobos summer camps, said the players will be assigned to all-star teams based solely on ability and not age.
The all-star games in The Pit are open to the public, but the coaches prefer not to have fans in the Rudy Davalos Center because those games will typically involve younger and less developed kids who don't need the extra scrutiny.
I'll provide more updates and hope to pass on rosters before Thursday's game once the campers start showing up for registration and coaches get a feel for their skills.
If you're interesting in registering for the camp, contact Mike Terry at 925-5770 or click visit the camp information page on the UNM athletics Web site.

I do not buy the nonsense that while games are open to the public the staff prefer that we not view activities in the Davalos Center.
First. Who paid for the Davalos Center. Not only am I a taxpayer and UNM alum but I am also a practicing CPA whose clients would like a report about how our money was spent. Second players get used early to people watching them. Would they play if nobody cared. Anyone too shy to be at camp would not be at camp. Third I have no intention of denying proud parents a chance to show off their progeny.

There's no need to make a taxpayer case out of this issue. The coaches said they would prefer not to have people in the Davalos Center. If you insist on watching games of middle school kids that only signed up for a camp and not your scrutiny, then I doubt they would kick you out.

In past years, as part of this camp, there was a Lobo/camper scrimmage. That was discontinued last year, with UNM saying that the scrimmage violated NCAA regs. In lieu of that scrimmage, there was a "pick-up" Lobo game held following the "All-Star" camper game. Has that "pick-up" game been dropped, too?
