I think many of you are looking at AAU basketball in the wrong light. If a young lady has aspirations of playing college basketball then she must play AAU. If she's not interested in playing at the next level then she should spend her summer doing other things. AAU is more about exposure to college coaches against high level competition. It's not an avenue to teach the game as much as it is to show what you have already learned. You guys are killing me with the remarks about how AAU teaches kids nothing and is hurting the high school game. If your a college coach do you want to see Mary Jane hang 30 on a crappy 14th region team or do you want to see how she plays against competition that is as good or better than her. The girls have 11 months to work on their game and they get July to make an impression to college coaches.

Apparently you have not seen many aau games to think the competition is good, most of the teams are very weak and on top of that they don't play together so that makes a weak team.
