Guest Guest Posted April 14, 2012 Report Share Posted April 14, 2012 Watching AAU boys U16 at Maine Endwell this morning. It's no wonder athletics around here are becoming a joke, and coaches the laughing stock of other areas. For the whole game the coach yelled, slow it down, set it up (apparently talking about their pass and cut "offense"), or cut, or be patient. I would be pissed if I were a parent paying hundreds of dollars for my athlete to be playing for a moron who can't even come up with a simple offense. Congratulations to the coaches who do their jobs and teach these going players. Shame on you washed up morons. You are doing more harm than good.

Guest been there Posted April 14, 2012 Report Share Posted April 14, 2012 If you were a parent stupid enough to pay hundreds of dollars for your kid to play in a travel league you wouldn't be intelligent enough to be angry. You'd convince yourself that the coach is great to justify the wasted money, just like you convinced yourself that your kid is going to get a scholarship because you're wasting his/her college money on a useless travel team. Good Lord, the truth hurts, doesn't it? Get your kid on the track team where he/she can develop into a better ATHLETE, then he/she becomes a better soccer player- I'm assuming you're talking soccer.

Guest Guest Posted April 14, 2012 Report Share Posted April 14, 2012 and coaches the laughing stock of other areas. Do you honestly think it's different elsewhere? The overall degradation of the "adult" involvement in sports (lower level coaching AND all level spectator-ship) has been shown to exist everywhere. It's no different here.

Guest Guest Posted April 14, 2012 Report Share Posted April 14, 2012 The importance put on youth sports is one of the leading causes of todays societal problems.Teach little jimmy to read,write,balance a checkbook and learn what it means to run up creditcard debt would benefit him much more.

Guest just.let.em.play Posted April 15, 2012 Report Share Posted April 15, 2012 You are all idiots....lets see, *the boys who play RAGE are not good, they are only there because their parents pay. It has nothing to do with the fact that they want to get better. That they are putting hours into the practice and tournaments not because they want to go D1 or be in the NBA, which they know is not realistic, but just to be better players. *The coaches, who are not paid, they are the only stupid ones to volunteer their countless hours so that bullies can get on BC voice and criticize them. It is awful funny how the loudest bitches and the biggest whiners never get off their buts to do anything about it. Youth sports is corrupting the world despite the fact that it is shown to teach students about hard work, commitment, social skills, time management, and how about the exercise they are getting to keep our society from being #1 in the nation for obesity, how dare them! Not to mention the huge correlation between exercise and learning function (might help with that reading, writing and balancing a check book). Oh and despite Syracuse basketball having a good season we need to get some digs in here for the Coach. WOW. I hope I got that all straight. Honestly can you please find something better to be a pansy about? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly can you please find something better to be a pansy about? Great reply. The money spent for the players lies in the cost of tournaments, insurance, and possibly uniforms if purchased. Coaches in this area are not paid as far I know (Rage, TC Rockets). Is it possible, just maybe, the players wants to play more basketball and at times at a much higher level than local ball. Could it be the player and the parents actually have fun going to the tournaments as well. Does every player that plays basketball have to be a legit D1 player or they stink?? My son has played for both programs listed above and loves AAU. He has seen some very good teams and some average teams at best. The people belittling the AAU teams is the same person picked last in gym class for teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AAU or whatever you want to call it- they're all the same- a waste of money and time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for the Boeheim comments - he is a public figure that can and should be criticized. I have a feeling the heat will continue to increase on old Jimmy. Wouldn't be surprised if he cashed it in soon.
