summer league observations....
Aside from "retrieving ball" issues, are any of you finding that you are more lenient towards the coaches in terms of "interacting with them"---in this summer youth league all the coaches are volunteers and although they are clearly enthusiastic and dedicated, I do find them to be less--shall we say--refined than your garden variety NFHS-type of coach.

I don't do a whole lot of 'interacting' with coaches during the season anyway, but I hold a tighter line on the conduct during the summer. Simply put if I have to drive 30-40 minutes away from my home to ref 3-4 games for $25 a game that, for me anyway, is not enough to be yelled at like we're in the middle of a late-season game with playoff implications. This is summer ball. No one 20 years from now is going to care who won a particular summer league tournament or game. I'll hustle down the court like I always do, but for $25 I'm not taking a whole lot of grief from the benches. Not worth it for me.... |

With summer league coaches, I use one of the three following phrases about 95% of the time to respond to a coach: 1) I'll continue to watch for it coach. 2) Coach, that wasn't a foul/violation. 3) Coach, that's enough. |

Maybe they've been watching too much NBA, where the officials do chase the ball for multi-millionaire athletes.

It Isn't Like Baseball ???
What? Those fans sitting in the thousand dollar courtside seats aren't allowed to keep the balls that end up in their laps?

AAU has a national coordinator of officiating? Can't believe that organization gives a darn in any way about officiating. To hear that their national coordinator is only offering $25 a game, makes it clear why so many of those AAU tournaments try get the officials for cut rates. No thanks! |
