Usually there were fans, coaches or players I'd see throughout the day. Send the message early.

15 AAU games in one weekend is a ton. I know our AAU games are stop clock, and they scheule them every 1 1/2 hours. That's a lot of ball. My feet would be killing me. That's why I tend to do no more then 8-10 a weekend. I caught myself being sick and tired of those coaches by game 10, and anyone after that would probably feel the brunt of my
patientless whistle..
