You should work as many games as you can. If anyone questions this practice to your face, tell them you're still working on "getting a good angle" and this is a chance to increase that skill. Or that you're trying to improve your physical conditioning, so that you can move up a level next fall. Or something that shows you're trying to improve, and not just being a hack. If they say they don't think this will help, ask what you should be doing instead. Listen and thank them. Then do what seems the most likely to help. Or ask them to come to an AAU game or two and make suggestions. In other words, give them respect and take what they have to give that seems useful, but don't necessarily take only one point of view.
