Exactly.

The question wasn't should the OP "treat them differently?". It was "have our experiences been different?" That would be a resounding "yes" from me.

What happens if you get off on I-64 East and attend games at the Boo Williams SportsPlex?

I think in the AAU tournament I worked last weekend, there was a tiebreaker that counted the number of times each team said "AND 1". Occasions where they yelled that and the shot failed to go in must have been worth double.

A little surprising to me, I did not have to issue a single T. Had one player get frustrated with me for not calling a foul after he dribbled into two stationary defenders and fell down but that was hit. His coach got on him about that too.

Heard a good one from a coach in a tourney in Fairfax last weekend.

"Hey, keep your hands off em! They're calling it tight here. We're not in PG County anymore!"

A new one for me, but, I liked it!

PS - for all you "non-locals" PG can be kind of a rough county.

Proves how dumb they are. They usually are looking for a bailout and the proper whine should be "And Two".

The worst coach I experienced in an AAU tourney was actually a HS coach.

I observed an AAU-only coach that was much worse, but wan't on the game. Most of the AAU coaches I've had in recent years have been decent guys.

Me too. I rang him up in the AAU game. He was a relative peach in the HS games I've worked with him.

AAU tournament a few weeks ago. Boys U-17 game. One coach was an older gentleman I recognized from somewhere - turns out he was an Assistant to George Karl when with the Seattle Sonics. Other coach was a young guy - looked like he was maybe 22 or so...

Older guy was a complete class act. I absolutely blew a PC call against one of his kids and all he said was "Joey - get you butt back on defense right now."

Younger guy was a completely different story...I gave him the first T with about 2 min. to go in first half. He was 10 feet out on the court screaming at one of my partners. Said partner gave him the second T about 5 min. into the second half for laying a string of f-bombs on us. And he was winning by 15 or 16 points.

Some AAu coaches get it, and some don't.

This is why I love my province's fair play policy. We're been told by our province's ED that there is zero tolerance with this BS. Zero also means Nada, Nil, and Zilch.

If some momma is yelling out "CHEATIN REF"... take care of business and toss her right away. Why someone might put up with stuff like this is beyond me.

More of the same??? Unless, BNR is on the game.

A coach is a coach is a coach in my book.

I have only tossed one coach in 19 years (19 years???? God, I'm getting old ) of officiating. It was an AAU coach.

Having said that, my general experience has been that the overwhelming majority have been decent guys/gals.

If a parent is ejected here, their child is ejected as well. Talk about cleaning things up, we rarely have a problem with parents anymore.
