Dear AAU Coaches:
I’m sure you are really good guys & even better coaches. Here’s ONE suggestion for those looking for a teachable moment, tell your kids to bend at the hip and pick up their Gatorades after a game.
I swear it’s easier than hitting an open jump shot.

If MJ would have taken the last shot, how’d Paxon hit the game winner in ‘93?
If MJ would have taken the last shot, how’d Kerr hit the game winner in ‘97?

Even down to the signage.. “check in for D1 Coaches”... “Bathroom for D1 coaches only”
This is strange to me because over 60% of the players here are D2/D3 players ..
Only cheating the kids man.

Dropped a tough one to a very talented Adelphi team.. hard to swallow the ones that come down a possession here or a possession there.
