I wroked two AAU games tonight, my first time on the floor since the states. 12U game was uneventful. But the 14U game was a thiller.

Two teams were very evenly matched and very strong. White #33 went the length of the floor in 5.8 seconds to knock down a jumper to force OT at 55 each way. Blue jumps out early in the OT, and they're up 64-62 when I get #44 for a foul. She doesn't like it and slams the ball against the floor and down the court. Yep, she got whacked, which was also her 5th. So now White has the mo and goes up 65-64. The next couple of trips no one scores until my partner gets white for a foul, which changes the mo again. Blue ends up winning 78-72.

Good times. 4 more tomorrow.

They'll probably all suck!

I think the ratio of decent games to sh1t games in AAU is at best 4:1 - ya gotta suffer through four dogs for 1 good one. Yesterday I had a great 15U boys AAU game, 2 good teams from the same upstate NY area that drove about 150 miles to play, both great coaches, maybe the best game I've ever seen at this age group. Today I have three 17U and I'm keeping my fingers crossed!

Dan: I know the feeling. I had two G-12 games (all 4 teams were from MD.) on Saturday. Both were blowouts. The 2nd. game was a 45 point margin at one point and wound up something like 35 point difference. 3 of 4 coaches were pretty good -- the 4th coach got a little present. Whack!
