You're not kidding about the coaches in AAU. I had a 17u game last weekend. My partner is administrating a throw in under the offensive teams basket. The offense sets a good legal screen, but the defender pushesthrough it and knocks the screener to the ground. We both go up with the fist, and I go report it. The coach then looks at me and yells well, I guess you have to expect that from a young official, so I politely informed him that I sure wanted to live up to his expectations and that he should have probably expected the consequence for what he had just said, then I proceeded to whack him. He decided to leave us alone after that, of course all the whiners it seems like keep getting blown out though.
