Great post ST413

I know there are some great aau coaches who do it for the right reasons.  But don't knock junior high and high school coaches.   school coaches are teaching and coaching the kids that AAU coaches are not cause AAU coaches are only gonna take the kids that are gonna help them win or fit their team philosophy.. am I wrong about that? IM sure there is some kids on teams that more than likely were below cut but coaches let them on cause momma and daddy have good jobs and are willing to pay whatever so there kid can get some exposure.    AAU has a larger pool to pull from.  EX...Local AAU has all of golden triangle and the out skirts while a school coach is only dealt the hand that live within district boundaries.

is he still cocking his head to the side on his jump shots???

sorry .....we need to get back on topic here

Just to throw this in many high school basketball coaches make pennies for the time they put in.  They get paid to teach which isn't that much along with small stipend to coach.    And coaching isn't just about the sport or athletic scholarships, but teaching young men and women about life.  Hard work, dedication, fortitude, etc etc etc.   I know some great junior high and high school coaches who have influenced young men morally and they didn't win a state championship. 

that's why I asked "is it out of context?"

if West Brook can keep the kids they have now then in 2017 will be pretty good.  Aaron Brown out works most.

oh believe me there's thugs in Silsbee....white and black

bullet to the head.....simple and cheap

We could really stop a lot of issues in this country if we just had stricter entry laws.  And when I mean strict I mean high level.  and those that break them receive cruel and unusual punishment.  something the left knows nothing about.    

hard to do when they all call themselves muslim.......which follow the quran.   Again are we taking it out of context???????????????????????

some people are just push overs with no spine intact and expect others to follow suit.   try standing firm for something rather than be a push over.   I don't care muslim, jew, hindu, etc etc etc.  If you go against the Word of God then yes I will stand firm.    If you carry out crimes. I will stand firm against you.  If you commit evilness then I will stand firm against you. Weak minded individuals with no spine is a problem.

I can see both sides, aau has grown a lot since it first started.  lil more watered down now.  Still great talent, but watered down some with players and coaches.

Are we taking it out of context? 

How smart are we???  We re not learning from our past and that goes for a lot of things not just this Cuba thing.   Slowly deteriorating.......       Im so glad I live in the middle of the woods....

its what happens when a muslim is elected pres.  TRAGEDY

muslim- the follower of islam based on the quran.   WHAT DOES THE QURAN SAY ABOUT OTHER RELIGIONS?????? 

99.9%??????????????????

if he plays in the SLC then he could avg double digits easily......

he's closer to 6'5" 6'6".  Good Shooter, mad hops, long athletic, good shot blocker on ball or away, good FT shooter, smart kid.   Sometimes relies on hops too much when rebounding....work on blocking out better. also dribble drives baseline a high % of the time.  work on change of direction and mid range jumpers. hit the weight room big time cause at 6'5" 6'6" and 175lbs.  needs to be about 210 to 215lb    My personal opinion....he's a sleeper....His best years are still ahead of him.  Diamond in the rough.  Could see him having success at a high mid major. 

17 your still a minor but in todays society they know more.  technology is a b_____.  

possible....the whole story hasn't even came out

whether right or wrong.  make better choices in life.  when you put yourself in a bad situation then likely bad things will happen whether justified or not.   want to make change make better choices.  it all starts with a choice that is made  by an individual.   it all starts with educating children in the right manner about life and the importance of making good choices and the easiest way to teach them is by your own actions.  Children are like sponges and what they see and what they hear affects them greatly.

First, thank you for your service to this country.   But I disagree with your analogy   2nd, Im not saying that there isn't crooked cops out there, I know there is.    perpetuate the cycle????   If you want to stop injustices/stereotypes this isn't the way to do it.   you want to change laws to better suit you go get a law degree and work your way up to do so. 

goes to show you don't know the law Big Girl.....and your still defending a criminal like usual.  says a lot about you.   if you run your breaking the law.  IF he didn't run he'd probably still be alive....funny isn't it.
