Wasn't there discussion about the previous coach being ousted over AAU issues? How does this hire play into that?

No. AAU was only a minor part and not the focus of why the district made a change.

A group a parents asked that the new coach have more interest in AAU activities.

ok. How does this hire address those concerns? Or did the administration decide to not let that play a factor?

That group is very strong and if they stay together he will will have a nice group coming through.  Coach Ebow has worked with some good coaches and hopefully has learned along the way.
