Yes you are. AAU Basketball at any level is a mixed bag of standards and application of basic situations, let alone rules. Often times you do not even have a regular substitution process where players actually go to the table like during the regular season. I have worked games where the table was not in the right place and how timeouts are handled can be very disorganized as it relates to actual rules. And you add to that the level of experience of the officials, the quality of the table personnel or even the court configuration and you have all levels of confusion for everyone involved.
