AAU Coaches Vs HS Coaches

[rockyroad]

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.
