I think we’ve lost the plot on youth basketball. It’s probably happening in other sports too, but basketball is the world I know. Growing up, basketball was the neighborhood game. All you needed was a ball and a hoop. It was simple, accessible, and we’d play for hours without thinking twice about it. I’d call myself a pretty good high school player. I started on a solid team and loved competing. AAU wasn’t really part of the equation back then. I played in a few tournaments with friends, but everyone understood what it was. If you were elite, you played for Indiana Elite or Spiece. If you weren’t, you just kept hooping where you were. There wasn’t this pressure that you had to be in it. Now it feels like the entire model has flipped. Kids from kindergarten through high school are paying thousands just to be on a team. And if you want to play, there’s always a team ready for you because there’s money to be made. But it doesn’t stop there. Parents are paying $60/head every weekend just to watch. Some places are charging for parking. Tournaments are partnering with hotels and requiring teams to stay there just to participate. Then you show up and games are running an hour behind, officials are barely engaged, and someone’s parent is losing their mind over playing time. Somewhere along the way, the focus shifted. This isn’t about saying AAU is all bad. There are real positives. Kids get exposed to different competition, build friendships, and experience things they wouldn’t otherwise. But it’s hard to ignore what it’s becoming. For a lot of kids, this isn’t building a love for the game. It’s turning it into a transaction. A schedule. A bill. And that’s the part that feels off. It would just be nice if the kids were back at the center of it all.

@CoachJonesACS That’s why I follow her. I like her too

I like UCLA coach as well. She tweet more workout/practice drill videos than I do 😂

@justbladen He won’t Justin…

I don’t agree with this notion that players are more skilled and talented now. Players can do more with the ball in their hands but that doesn’t make you more skilled or talented. IQ is a skill. Playing hard is a skill. Emotional regulation is a skill. Talent means nothing.

@CoachJonesACS Hitting on all points tonight coach. UNC gonna throw the bank at them though!!

No reason for Dusty or Tommie to leave Arizona or Michigan in todays landscape. They got the world at their feet already

@CoachJonesACS Gotta have experience at PG, and Tarris definitely earned some money tonight!

They had the wrong PG in the game

@CoachJonesACS That part coach!!

McCollum putting a lot of these coaches barking about needing more NIL on notice man. Still have to be able to evaluate and put the pieces in the right place

@KyleMalzhan You just mad, he played within the rules of the game. We all know why some people are angry. Adapt and overcome. Shot is coming…thank Goodness.

Wisconsin high school athletic leaders must step up and approve a shot clock.

@CollegeHoopsTIk I can definitely see why he did it!! IYKYK

This is Milwaukee Juneau HS and Head Coach Torre Johnson Jr holding the ball with a two point lead for 90 seconds with seven minutes on the clock. Parents, send your kids to be coached by ethical and fair men, not ones teaching your kids to antagonize

FACTS! The problem is 98% of these parents won’t listen!!

Such a tragedy, this breaks my heart! Parents do better! Children it’s not that serious!

Tell them what you really think!

75% of Pennsylvanians don't have a Real ID, and 50% don't have a passport. If the SAVE America Act passes, they wouldn't be able to vote THIS November. Any member of Congress from Pennsylvania who votes yes is voting against the interests of their constituents.

Change the rules of the game. Been done since Jim Crow!
