I am not trying to belittle the "Rucker." I am sure that it is fun and not being from there myself, I really do not know what the advantages or disadvantages of that tournament is to officials. But I am from a very vibrant basketball state. Basketball is life in Illinois. The other sports are just around to pass the time. And in the Chicago area, basketball is a year round game. HS kids play in there regular season, then go to AAU or travelling teams. Then the schools enter their players in summer leagues, where in some cases the coaches now can be involved in actually coaching them. Maybe there is not one tournament like the "Rucker" that has the combination of the pros and the non-pros, but the HS kids play every single chance they get. And we also do have some Pro-Am leagues, but those are for the benefit of NBA scouts and NBA teams picking up talent and evaluating talent. Even the AAU tournaments and the travelling tournaments, these are recruiting evaluations time for many college D1 coaches. It is not terribly unusual to see D1 coaches or scouts at these tournaments. So instead of our ball being for the fans necessarily, it really is for the evaluation of talent and getting kids experience for the big time players that they will see during the season and in college.
