Message: [QUOTE="DomeHolmes, post: 5615594, member: 10113"] The biggest problem is they play too many AAU games that they don’t really care about the result of, so it becomes streetball to some extent. Half my kids high school team played on his AAU team, and they just didn’t care as much about losing those games as they did losing high school games. But it all comes down to coaching. my son had better AAU coaches than his freshman or JV high school coaches. The key is having a coach that sets strict parameters about what’s acceptable and what’s not acceptable based on your skill set. Like the last game when Red sat Souare for the 3. It’s easy to discipline your 10th man. It’s not so easy to discipline your best players. That’s one of the areas Red is failing. I believe it’s the culture of “accepting losing”, and accepting losing behavior and performance, whether it’s from your AAU coaches or high school coaches, that is the biggest problem. [/QUOTE]
