THOUGHTS ON SUMMER AAU BASKETBALL

The first day of the tournament brought out a lot of small college coaches. There were college coaches from the upper mid west. They represented all levels of play from D2 national to the D3 JC level. It is a good time when college coaches can get together to watch some of the top players from around the country play on 8 different courts through out the day.

The biggest thing that is the most fun for me is seeing the kids that I know from different teams and being able to watch them play in a fun and controlled environment. I have watched AAU and basketball in general for my whole life and when you start out and become just a fan and you track a certain team for so long you start to grow and be apart of that certain program. I think that there is a time in some ones life where you go man isn’t it a good thing to know that you have an out lit on a team. Basketball is more about what takes place on the court; it is also what takes place off the court as well.
