AAU Coaches Vs HS Coaches

[Camron Rust]

Just worked 6 AAU games this weekend (2 each day F/S/S)....

I had a team from Seattle that goes by the name of GameTime on two different occasions...they won once and lost once, both close games with the loss in the 3rd place game. The coach and the players were a shining example of what sportsmanship should be.

Except for one, all of the teams I had were actually quite good but this one stood out above the rest.

Had 5 games yesterday. USSSA, but to me they are all AAU. The assignor indicated that there was one coach ejection in 163 games. A report goes to national for those. I issued one coach T. Had to go talk to him afterward because he kept standing up. He listened and sat down and stayed that way. Most of the coaches were able to ask questions of plays without being knuckleheads and they got explanations of plays and rulings as a result. All teams were 5th/6th grade boys and we didn't have an issue with most of them either.

The guy that got tossed? His team lost by 30. So, obviously he didn't have must talent coaching, either.
