Here's a sampling of stupid remarks from a girls' AAU 15U, 16U, & 17U tournament this weekend.

Late in the second quarter, the scoreboard displays the team fouls as 9 on each team. Lady in the stands behind me yells, "Ya'll need to call some fouls on our end!"

I called a PC foul on A1, who push off with her non-dribbling hand and knocked her pint-sized defender to the floor. She looks dead at me and says, "Jesus, ref. At least make it look like you're trying to call it fair."

Contact underneath the basket. From a player on the bench behind me, I hear, "Call the damn foul!" Whack! Now here's the stupid part. Coach asks, "Don't they get a warning?"

Same coach. Her 6'1" center shoves her 5'6" defender completely out of the paint on a throw-in. L and I, center, both whistle the foul. I verbalizes "Blue 32, offensive foul." Teammates help B1 up. I report. Four trips down the floor later, I'm directly in front of the coach at center. The coach yells, "Don't touch anybody Sheree, it might be an offensive foul!" Whack! Here's the stupid part. Coach says, "But I was talking to my player." Yeah, right.

Other than the normal stupidity that you hear from the wonderful players, coaches, and fans of AAU basketball, it was a pretty good weekend. A lot of D-1 prospects and some very good basketball.
