Arrogance.(long.Sorry;;)

[zebraman]

The AAU games I work are generally "more relaxed" than actual school games. Maybe the fact that you expect the same "professionalism" from players and coaches in the AAU games comes off as "arrogant." In an AAU game, if both coaches wanted to play 4-on-4, I'd probably allow it. That's just me.... if I had a partner who wanted to enforce the 5-on-4 thing, I'd go along with that too. Sounds like it might just be a difference in how strict people think the rules ought to be enforced in off-season AAU.

Or maybe you have some mannerisms that some people see as confidence and others see as arrogance.

Either way, if you aren't getting those comments in school ball, you have to decide if AAU is important enough for you to care.
