Appreciate you my guy !
It’s human nature to want recognition for work done or achievements. But I’m always impressed by the people who never seek it, don’t pound their chest & say look at me. @coachvonzell1 is one of those dudes. Shoutout for all the years in the AAU 🏀 game helping kids chase dreams.
We're thrilled to share a glimpse of the significant construction progress at the MAS’s Diamondback Energy Athletic Complex. You can see the concrete tilt walls making their mark on the main entrance & both the east & west sides.
Because of easy entry into the space, you see more poor examples than the good.
It’s so easy because it’s less legislated & it’s pay to play. When people spend their money on something for better or worse they are paying with the expectation of a positive return. When the return is minimal or nonexistent yall get blamed.
Also from the HS coach perspective, it’s a control thing. We like controlling development as well as controlling who our players are around because many of us think that these kids are ONLY ours as if we fathered them all.
It has increased skill levels exponentially. Also there’s many high school coaches who’ve never seen a live period. Just don’t understand the levels of AAU. 5 tournaments in Dallas on a weekend and they aren’t all the same. The better the players are… the more AAU is needed.
I was always told it starts at the top. And I don’t think select basketball is at the top. But what do I know.
My honest take, there’s more sharks and vultures in the select world that actually take advantage of folk while not providing any direction, or any added skills that might benefit the kid along the way. In actuality, those sharks do more damage than good. You and a few others are…
I think we can all agree there’s good and bad. When I hear people say that I like to counter it with how would you change it? For me I would go more the Euro route. A lot less playing at a young age and more development. No zones or pressing until 12-13U.
I am blessed to receive a offer from @CSUB_MBB @BTSprepacademy @AssaultSouthern #Teambelieve
Why is it so easy for everyone to blame select basketball for ruining the game ?

We are heartbroken to share the passing of Tom Krosschell, founder of D1 Minnesota. Tom built more than a basketball program - he built a family. His impact on players, coaches, and our entire community will never be forgotten. Rest in peace, Coach Tom. Thank you for everything

Want to publicly thank @AssaultSouthern for an amazing AAU season. Amazing organization and an even better group of people! Second to none coaching staff in @coachvonzell1 Coach Paul,Coach Jeff, BNO and Coach Brandon No place I’d rather finish my AAU career with.
Final game with @AssaultSouthern. Thank you, Coach Von and the rest of the organization for giving me this opportunity. 17 pts, 8 reb @BlairAcademyMBB @CoachMantegna @CoachDeJesus33
Respect you and them Coaches but they full of shit. A league that had Bruce branch, cam Williams, derron rippey, taylen Kinney, and MANY others isn’t taking a backseat to Pro16 and i like the Pro16
Heard that @PRO16League was the 2nd best circuit behind the @NikeEYB when it came to talent level this July from several college coaches.
