Message: [QUOTE="Francis03, post: 713083, member: 195"] When it comes to the quotes and stuff from AAU coaches. I think the main thing is that it's easier for reporters to contact and network with them at these events because when the kids are playing games in the summer at places like Milwaukee, Orlando, Vegas, Indy, etc, it's hard for a parent to travel to all of these venues. So if you're trying to write about a player and his play from the summer, the best source and info for that is the AAU coach. There are some dirtbags in AAU obviously, but for the most part there are more positive than negative folks coaching these kids and devoting a lot of time away from their family as well to help these kids earn scholarships.
