Amen...Brother!

Many of these Coaches watch Bobby Knight type coaches on television and see this as some sort of inspiration for themselves. They see these coaches getting away with stuff that is totally inappropriate in an AAU/Middle School setting.
NCAA leans toward big business, AAU should lean toward sportsmanship...and we as officials can help "guide" the Coaches and players in that direction of appropriate behavior.
