EXACTLY!!!

I only work high school ball during the summer, because that is what I will likely see during the college level camps I will be attending all summer. And it is less of a mental hassle than dealing with the stuff that was illustrated in this thread.

Speaking of high school ball, saw that you were up in NC for sectional.

This is one of the reasons I tell my local AAU assignors that I will not work anything below the 13U age group.

I was moved to Morton. But I was assigned to NC originally. They needed a Black guy at Morton. ;)
