There's a lot I could say here, but I'll just leave it at what you said- what a surprise.

I'll just say this about AAU - we are in the wrong business!

A guy who pretty much just runs big AAU basketball tournaments bought a million dollar home in Mahomet last year.

Is that that Mening guy from Urbana? Isn't that his gig?

no excuse for this kind of behavior. that said, my experience is that this is far from the norm.

my son was on the "aau circuit" for 2 summers - 2016 & 2017. i attended every tournament his team played in. not once did i witness an incident even close to this debacle in georgia. i saw plenty of what i would call unsportsmanlike behavior, but nothing that rose (or fell) to this level.

the vast majority of coaches i saw were good guys with the proper perspective. you can spot the "hustlers" as soon as they enter the gym but they are few and far between.

I love the ESPN video where the young woman yells, MOM, as to get your tail back here!

kid played in every peoria manual game this season.

A ref laying on the ground covering his head is basically giving himself up. You'd think that might deter the kid from continuing to throw punches. Not so with that kid. If that kid likes to mix it up why not take up boxing or MMA and see how tough you are. That was ugly.
