Go to any AAU tourney anywhere from NY to Richmond, Va. and I guarantee you will hear the following............


HOW LONG??? HOW LONG????? - that is AAU speak for 3 seconds.


CHEATIN REFS - every momma's calling card for the fact that her baby is gettin hosed....


YO THIS AIN'T THE LEAGUE - should be a continous motion play


AND 1 - everytime somone goes to the basket, I need a foul


RUN RUN RUN - we can't run a 1 / 2 ct set


As far as coaches boxes go.............. good luck

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.

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.

Not Gil Thorp. He's different. Always a perfect gentleman. I've never seen him get a technical foul, or get ejected from a game, and he coaches basketball, football, and baseball, and has been doing it at Milford High School for fifty-three years.

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.

What about Ty Lawson, Nolan Smith, Jeff Green, Cunningham (forgot his first name), Sam Young...I know I'm forgetting someone.

PG county, and the DC area, produces a lot of NBA players. For the record, Durant, Lawson and I'm sure some of the others mentioned didn't go to public Schools. Durant went to Maryland Christian (I think that is the official name), Oak Hill and then Montrose Christian.

Tome - Couldn't name all of them. Thanks for the additions..... Durant went to National Christian Academy as a sophomore, Patrick Ewing, Jr. was also part of that team.

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

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.

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.
