We in the basketball community know what this term means for the modern game of today but I will give my take on exactly what type of basketball players fall in this category and the traits that make this player valuable.

Thursday Apr 14, 2022
Coach C. Collins is back at it to help give his experience of coaching methods and tactics that can hopefully help you to grow in the game of basketball along with tips for your AAU brand. Todays topic I want to tell coaches, families and players what my experience was at the UA Rise tournament in Indiana.

My team went 4-1 and made some huge noise that weekend impressing a lot of college coaches but the experience and networking is well worth it. As always if you feel so inclined drop a like or comment and enjoy the episode.

Nick has a passion for sports that began in High School as he was there to see the rise of Oakland Tech as a basketball power house during the Leon Powe & Demarshae Johnson era(199-2003). Nick also worked at the Oakland Tribune in the same field and he has done several pieces on the sports world that give him great insight to the professional experience.

Some topics of interest in this episode were the assessments of how the era of basketball has changed also Nick reached out to Coach Collins for insight about how AAU basketball works and the pros and cons. Nick also discusses a recent article he had done on the decline of black participation in baseball and the reasons why. Often through out the show the comparison of aau programs in traditionally white sports as opposed to aau basketball, which is predominately black, is brought up as well. Of course we talk NBA news and the way covid-19 has affected the layout of the NBA season. With everything being uncertain it seems athletes and organizations either adapt or fail.

The impact of different tryouts and seasons in the AAU basketball community and how this affects trainers income is discussed along with how as a basketball culture trainers and programs can actually work together rather than the fake love that is shown consistently. The coaches discuss times people have acted as if they were to high on the totem poll to interact with us or the brands we represent and of course various NBA topics are covered as always. The episode was a lot of fun and laughs with people getting to see the thoughts and fears we as professionals can have at times.

Questions about if the relationship of AAU coaches and high school coaches is discussed and we have a fun time sharing crazy stories of basketball events and journeys. In the NBA the Warriors and Suns match up is analyzed, who will be the king of the west? The coaches also bring up the empty threats made by Haslem toward the Jokic family along with the theater drama many of the NBA players start to display on a regular. Street ball becoming a very cool wave in the basketball community is looked at and with KP speaking his truth there are definitely no punches pulled for the great discussions.
