AAU Coaches Vs HS Coaches

[Tio]

AAU coaches can be MUCH worse. There is no accountability. For example if a HS coach gets ejected, they work for the AD.. often times there is no recourse for an AAU coach's actions. Most of them are just there to coach their players and will never cause an issue.

I don't think you should go into an AAU game with any preconceived notions or a short leash for the coach. However, you need to keep in mind that the environment is different than a sanctioned (by HS association or NCAA) contest. Most likely you do not have dedicated game management and if you do, they are probably covering several courts, etc.

I hold the same standards regarding bench decorum in a summer game as I do the season - I only know one way to do things. I have to be ready for different reactions or challenges on the AAU circuit.
