writer claims AAU is nothing but streetball and takes no coaching skill
Not sure if I have even heard of Al Woods Recruiting ( The writer of the article).... Then again, he may be in the dark about Coach Jumper.
************
In the article:
The "author" questions:
**The level of coaching
**Structure of practices and games
**Some AAU programs are in the wrong hands.
((the same 3 statements might be argued about this years LV's program))
++++++++
He states that the only advantage that AAU basketball has over high school basketball is recruiting. When it comes to recruiting, it makes financial sense to attend an AAU basketball tournament where hundreds of players are competing...At the high school level, there may be one or two players who may be worth seeing and it does not make financial sense to attend one high school game and maybe get lucky to see one player.
Maybe youÂ’re in a situation where the high school coach is a jerk and does not or will not lift a finger to assist in the recruiting process.
Your reference is a heading, not a statement.
"AAU Basketball Is Nothing More Than Just Street Ball"
The heading is followed by:
"IÂ’ve seen a lot of AAU basketball games and it looks like thereÂ’s very little coaching that goes on.
In some ways, AAU basketball looks like a game of pickup basketball and the players and coaches are making it up as they go along.
The article then states:
"At the AAU level, the travel is on chartered buses and many of the teams travel by air.""
On and my favorite quote:
"Maybe youÂ’re in a situation where the high school coach is a jerk and does not or will not lift a finger to assist in the recruiting process..."
+++++++++++++
This guy calls himself a recruiter and attacks both AAU and HS in the same article.... Nope,,, Not impressed.
Everyone has an opinion. About AAU or the Lady Vols...
And you know what they say about opinions.... Yes, I will say it.... "An opinion is like a bunghole, everybody has one, and only their own doesn't stink".
