more AAU

[Redhouse]

last game of 6.

I am lead and A is on a fast break. I am at the endline watching action when the ball is turned over and I start heading for the other end and see about 5 fans on the court in a big cluster. At first thought I was thinking maybe a child ran out on the court and then i see a few players holding other players and a couple of moms pointing and grabbing. I started hitting the whistle and running to the other end to break up whatever was going on.

I have no clue what just transpired. My partner was somewhere down on that side and after the dust cleared and went and asked him what he saw and how it started. He had no idea either but he said that he did see 2 players strike each other. I never saw if anyone came of the bench or not and I don't think he did either. We just ejected both players and went to the AP.

All in total Dan after 6 games we ejected 7 kids and handed out about another 6 T's. I tend to have a very short leash during AAU ball. Once during a free throw B1 was at the bottom and he backed so far into A1 that it moved him about 6 feet. After that shot i told all players to come str8 in and was looking at him when I said it. He said I am just blocking out. I said no you are just pushing with your butt instead of with your hand. He kind of shrugged his shoulders and then when he went to inbound the ball he said, "Awwww F... that" Tweet.

I even tried to explain it to him after the game, don't think he really wanted to hear the logic behind it so I moved on to someone else willing to learn.

Sorry so long
