Thumbs up

I worked 12 games (6 in a row Saturday, and 6 in row Sunday) of a girls AAU tournament this weekend at Keene State College in Keene, NH. There were 72 teams from several states. Many of us have had bad experiences at AAU tournaments, but other officials and I thought this was a good tournemant. The coaches and players were extraordinarily respectful. I heard several parents and coaches compliment the quality of the officiating. I thought I would give AAU a little positive "press". My legs are still a little bit sore, but I am told that the blisters on my feet will heal eventually.

I've had alot of good experiences at AAU torunaments. It seems that there is at least one good story from every tournament though. I like it when these teams have played each other in multiple tournaments, in multiple cities and sometimes in multiple states because you can see some rivalries brewing and they really give you some good hustle and game situations.
