quote:I knew a high school basketball coach in New Orleans area (Catholic league as it was back then). He made 3x more with his summer camps then he did with his teaching/coaching salary from the school. College coaches do the same things, but the big players usually funnel the money to their assistants and staff so they can make some extra. Im pretty sure that Coach K at Duke gives all of his camp money to his assistants.
Or as was the case with Skip, a money maker for the AD.

quote:What kind of prospect was this Mathieu kid prior to the camp? The point is that at a multiply day camp a kid has a decent chance of proving himself. Not saying a 3 or 4 day tryout is worth a schollie, but at least a coach gets to see the kid compete.
All these camps are for is money making for coaches, loving up on the schools top prospects, and also a under the radar guy making a name for himself. At an LSU camp last year the kid from ST. Aug, Mathieu, I think that is how you spell it got noticed and got a schollie. They already knew about him, but in the camp he stood out and got an offer. So unless your son is that type of kid it really is not worth it.
