Depends. People figure out very quickly that you're a doctor, so you end up being the unofficial team/league physician. I lost count of the number of injuries (on and off the field) I looked at...

My daughter's team has been on the end of blowouts like that. They played up in a tournament against a 6th grade team last fall, and the opponents did the press/fast break thing all game long. Not...

What I Learned This Weekend
President's Day AAU Tournament, watched a lot of basketball, and learned these fascinating facts:

Follow-up
The no-rebound deal ends up being our local rule, but we shoot standard FT distance, and can't cross.
Conversely, the league hosting the tournament has a No-Zone Rule(must stay within 6 ft of...

Silly local rules
Turns out this is, in fact, one of those silly local rules that is never explained as such.
My daughter's team is at their first out of town tourney, and in the first quarter, one of our girls put...

As a dad, the officials I admire the most are the ones that do interact with the players. My daughter is in 5th grade AAU, and I like the officials that understand this is a game, and look...

Double Dribble or Odd Call?
This has been driving me nuts for the past few days, and I don't think I've found a definitive answer: When initiating a dribble, does the player have to release the ball with one hand?

Importance of education
