FYI. Here are the camps for this month.
 
Here is my quick, Iowa State basketball camp story. I went several times, the last being in summer of 1998 when I was 13. My coach was Mr. Marcus Fizer (coming off his All-Big 12 Freshman year). Fizer also had to be the supervisor on our dorm floor in Friley that week, which wasn't the best of ideas. My roommate Kyle had brought a Sam's Club-sized box of Famous Amos cookies for the week. Fizer is introducing himself to all of the rooms and he peeks in our room and sees this box of cookies, "Them some Famous Amos?" he asked. We nodded. "Hold on, I'll be right back."

Fizer left the room and returned three minutes later with a VHS tape in his hand. "Give me that box of cookies and I will trade you this tape to watch," Fizer said. I was all of about 5 feet and 100 pounds at the time and my roommate was not much bigger. We couldn't refute this giant of a man, so we obliged. Fizer grabbed the box of cookies and handed us the tape, "Bring that back when you are done with it," Fizer said. We put the tape in and it was the season highlights from the 1997-1998 season--it lasted 5 minutes. The most memorable highlight of that forgettable year was a Paris Corner half-court shot.

I went to return the tape a half hour later. I knocked on the door and walked in to see Fizer talking on a dorm phone with his shirt off, a mess of Famous Amos wrappers on the floor, and a 50 pound barbell in his hand. He nodded without saying a word when we put the tape back on his TV. That was the extent of the interaction I had with him all week.

Bottom line: Marcus Fizer is a big fan of Famous Amos cookies.

Should be a great experience. When I was a kid I went to Johnny Orr's camp. It was awesome. He had Hornacek come in for a special visit. Hornacek was draining half court shots one after another in front of the entire camp. He went something like 14-15 from half court. Insane.

That was my camp I think. Do u remember a 2 on 2 match after that with terry woods and 2 really kids who couldnt play, he kept shooting half court with the idea if he missed we would rebound but he kept making them and it turned into an exhibition.

Reason why he never panned out in the NBA? Too much money for cookies?

I remember going when I was 10. I didn't improve my basketball skills much, but I did get to meet Reggie Miller and got to see him and Fred have a 3 point contest.

I was at the same camp, Hoiberg and Miller drilling threes all the way past halfcourt.

I also won a shooting contest where I won a pair of signed Dale Davis shoes, then at the end won a random drawing where I won Fred Hoiberg autographed shoes. I left that camp in pretty good shape.
 
I went many years, and two food-related stories stick out in my mind.

First, my first year at camp, my parents gave me something like $20. On the first night, we ordered pizzas, which cost like $10. The smell drew a much older and bigger kid from Detroit. He came in and was salivating. We sold him a few pieces. This went on every night to the point where we left with almost the full $20. The kid was Victor Alexander.

Second, when I was in high school, we brought a ton of food. I believe it was a bag of Doritos I was eating when this huge (i.e., not skinny) 6'9" kid from Ruthven came up to my roommate and I and demanded some of our food. Not appreciating the tone, we foolishly told where to go. All I remember after that was running through the dorms with the food in my hands until I was so spent that I just dropped the bag and watched Loren Meyer devour it. I am not sure the bag remained after he was done. He ended up being a pretty cool guy, but I knew not to withhold food from him thereafter.

Hilarious. You follow him on Twitter? You should ask him about that .
 
Tyrus, Percy, Niang, McBeth, Naz, Cam, Bubu, SDW, and Ellerman are all helping this week along with all of the coaches. Doc was there the first two days, but not today.

BTW, I am REALLY impressed with these guys and how well they work with kids. Tyrus told me today how he really hates not being able to get out there and play with the kids with his injury, but he is still giving groups of kids "mini-lessons" on shooting when we have breaks. Percy and Niang are camper favorites and really seem to be enjoying the week.

Great to see a camp where the head coach stays the whole time. Fred has been there every minute and involved with everything. VERY impressed with this whole camp!
