Let me tell you about AAU...
1) The majority of the coaching stinks! These coaches just want to say I "coached" a certain player.
2) All the players care about is themselves getting theirs b/c AAU is just a showcase of "talent." No state titles to compete for.
3) Most college coaches don't recruit High School anymore. Why? Because it's easier for a coach to go sit in a gym on a weekend and watch MANY players than it is to go watch one High School game and maybe see 1-2 college level players.
4) All the trash play that goes on in these AAU tournaments translates to the D1 game. Notice the structure of Tom Izzo's teams vs Coach K. Izzo gets mostly 4 star guys that stay and learn. Coach K gets one and done players that never learn. Izzo won yesterday because they were fundamentally better even though they weren't as talented.
