The WCAC is great. That is the best HS league that I have worked to date. When I was in DC, my first years I was told to work as many summer tournaments as possible. The assigner really did me a favor and would put me with some of his top officials (like the guys that Hawks Coach mentioned who work AAU in the summer and the top WCAC games in the winter) in challenging AAU summer games so that I could learn from them. As a result I moved up quickly.
Now to the AAU rules: Hawks Coach here are two links on the web that I have found:
http://www.aausports.org/exec/aau/Gi...blicationID=12
http://www.aausports.org/exec/aau/ha...comp_rules.pdf
The first link has the heading: "2004 AAU Girls Basketball Handbook" at the top of the page, and if you click on competition rules, it will take you to the second link I gave, which is a pdf file. The first sentence there states, "The official rules for AAU Girls' Basketball are the 2002-2003 NCAA Women's Basketball rules."
To me this means that you get the 28' coaching area (all the way to the end line and you don't have to sit if you get T'd), team control fouls should be used, T's should be POI, FT line-up should have the bottom space empty and the players on the lane can go on the release.
And the no PC under the basket rule is definitely a Women's NCAA rule. The only case in which it doesn't apply is on a drive that comes in parallel to the end line. The exact citation is 4-8-1 AR 7 on page 58 of the 2003 book.

Also read Appendix III Section 9 part b. It gives a very detailed description with the exception.
If I did these games, I would also switch tableside in a 3 whistle crew.
