I also know a few HS conference assignors that refuse to use AAU tournaments as a camp for this very reason. AAU coaches have no accountability and often act like because they paid some money they are entitled to act complete jerks while trying to play coach for a weekend.

The type of things I dealt with this weekend you almost never see during a HS/college season. Oh well, I am glad the summer season is over.

So much for that

Do the observers step in at the D2 camp if things get way out of hand? I know at the AAU-based camp I attend if a coach was to truly get nutty - e.g., gets booted but won't leave - the observers will step in so we can get the game going. Not that it has happened (that I can recall) but the potential is there.
