I work girl's AAU ball about two weekends every month over in Indiana. Knock on wood, I have never had any of the games form hell except for a few coaches. After laying some smack down on them, they calm down. You just need to remind them that the game is for the players, not the coaches, parents or us fellow officials. If they do not get that, I toss 'em and find someone who can understand this concept.



Ken, we've had several of your AAU teams over here in St. Louis for the past couple of weekends. I remember the Indy Elite girls team and another girls team from Evansville. We had about 4-5 boys teams but I worked different games in the boys tourn so I don't remember which teams (from Ft Wayne, Indy and Evansville). That's one thing I like about AAU ball is getting to see different players and coaches. I do remember the Indy Elite teams parents were not the most knowledgable people I've been criticized by.
