Ummmm...  Depends.   You'd be very surprised.    All AAU is not created equally.

I run an AAU Club here in DC, about 50 kids or so..   It's all about the coaching and what he/she's trying to do...  teach, win, dad coach or someone re-living their childhood through the boys.   I take coaching and teaching very seriously and we don't teach junk ball.   I think Copeland wasn't trying to be fancy, still see the nerves trying not to make a mistake.   In my Club, I'll take that...   for now..  That will be the least of my concerns in another year or so.

There is a whole lot of what you say, I will admit...   You can always tell the difference between coaches that are teaching, growing and developing young men that play basketball vice those guys that got a bunch of good players and are just out to win.   I started the club as an "anti" AAU club focused on teaching the game and developing young men.   I didn't take the best players just some that wanted to learn the game, taught them from ground up, building on what they did well.   We got molly-whopped our first six months.     After 12 months we were always competitive.   Year two, we are a tuff win.

Ps...  I NEVER wear shorts, and "old skool" sneakers are all i do..
