Apparently

I was a philosophy major, so we were the ones debating this and just wanted to make sure others didn't waste hours debating the wrong topic

You have to be somewhat expecting some coaching issues.

Not anyone that I work for, just the opposite.

There you go, enough said. Good job! Hopefully, the coach will learn.

You run into situations like this in AAU. It often requires a different strategy than you would with a coach during a regular season game.

I think any time you can dialog, it is an opportunity to practice your skills. But keep in mind that AAU guys can be knuckleheads and you won't win the war.

Yep, it's a great way to learn how to tell the difference; as long as you don't have to sacrifice anything (mechanics) in the process.

In an AAU game? You've got to be kidding.

Thanks for the reminder. I forgot for a second why it is I don't do AAU games.

I do wish you the best, though! "Smooth sailing does not a seasoned sailor make."
