Memorable Basketball Drill Names Every Coach Needs dlvr.it/TSKZk7

@shegone03 And what about the coach who high-fives her?

This could be the worst call I have ever seen! I would take that catchers uniform away immediately! #shegone

@DLphyed @JoeKinseyexp @MakersBBB @GBBKimberly Right! I'm in the SF Bay Area - some of the most expensive real estate in the country. Tournaments here charge $18 per adult/day.

@bflitter @JoeKinseyexp And people complained about $10 entry fee these past two weekends @MakersBBB and @GBBKimberly coaching staff worked concessions! Seemed like a good deal in comparison!

I captured some of the youth basketball tournament prices in this post by @JoeKinseyexp and compared them to NBA playoff ticket prices, in the same cities where applicable.

@JoeKinseyexp @OhioAF I run tournaments in the Bay Area - some of the most expensive real estate in the country. We charge $18. We have quality officiating. $40+, the price-to-value exchange is off. Fan-density drops (parents per player) at those prices. Gate Rage is real!

Look at the price to attend AAU basketball this weekend in Pittsburgh. The get-in price for Game 1 of the Cavs playoff series tonight in Cleveland was $43. (via @ohioaf)

@mar5hallhoops how about 8:30 PM for anyone younger than 10 as well!

New rule...as a aau tournament director, if you schedule any 8am games, your tournament license is suspended for 2 years and you pay a fine of $5000 This goes in effect immediately!

@mar5hallhoops Hate to say it, we coaches are partially to blame. Pulling out of tournaments late, not committing because we are waiting to see what other teams are coming.

Question for basketball people that run tournaments...Is it that hard to put out a schedule a week or even 4-5 days in advance? I mean you have the venue, you have the teams, Hell, they even have software that will do it for you. What's the issue?

@pwfree23 Had to waste a practice session with one of my 4th- and 5th-grade teams to show them how to beat a 1-2-2 press this week! So you know what I do? I play hot potato with 3 people, and we just pass the ball back and forth until the opposing coach gets pissed and out of the zone.

Allowing zone press in 4th grade AAU tournaments…

@pwfree23 This is why I created Sideline.pro. We help youth tournament directors keep prices in check, create free companion passes, and offer discounted tickets (and still cover their expenses). Demand your tournaments run on Sideline!

Bringing your spouse and kid to watch your child play in Milwaukee this weekend? That will be $239.01 for admission… What are we doing!? #AAUBingo
