NDA Director of Basketball Operations??????

[TAC]

Private school. Can pretty much create any position they want. Plus if you don't like it, those nuns will smack your hand with a ruler.

[SUMRMAKESPLYRS]

Let me be more clear: A non-coaching position that had never existed was created and an AAU coach took it. Some may think that there isn't enough need so having said AAU coach in the position COULD have ancillary benefits.

The Head Coach is a AAU Coach. There is nothing to the speculation of your comment.

So another AAU coach on staff doesn't open up the potential for NDA to get some of them?

^^ Oh my.

 

I hope RCC doesn't see this thread.

No. Players and parents make their own decisions. A lot of coaches involved in High School

Basketball coach in the summer. I know a lot of them and pulling players to their program is not their motive. These hints of these coaches only trying to pull players to their programs are disrespectful and unfounded. I've watched many of these coaches give everything they have to make players from schools they know they will play against in the High School season better players because they care about kids. I would suggest you have a better grasp of what these guys give up for all NKY players before you go speculating their motives.

A few things:

 

1. I am not speculating as to any coach or NDA's intentions. If you chill a bit and go back to my initial post in this thread I asked if people were bothered/concerned about the title or the fact he's an AAU coach.

 

2. I'm sure they're awesome guys. I do not know either one so I'll defer to you. However, I ain't no fool and I'm not falling for your statement/inference that AAU coaches coaching high school ball could NEVER cause a kid (and their parents) to pick said coach's high school. You don't believe that either.

 

Go pull the wool over someone else's eyes. I'm just stating what others are not stating for some reason. It's nothing new. NDA isn't violating any rules.

 

But let's keep on assuming AAU coaches have no influence. Santa's coming in less than two months , too.

Thats really sad of you to disrespect what these coaches are doing. Come spend a summer with me in the gym with these guys and watch them give their time to make every player the best they can be. If you had that experience you would have a totally different view. It's easy for a armchair quarterback to speculate with having no idea what they are talking about. These guys give countless hours in practice travel and not to mention what they spend financially because they love helping kids get better. I have a opening for next summer if you want to see first hand let me know. All you need is a lot of time a lot of vacation time that your willing to give up for these kids and be willing to spend your own money. If your willing to do that for a summer then your opinion will matter.

Here's what is sad - your inability to follow along. I've never once criticized these guys. I've criticized YOU for your crazy belief that AAU coaches cannot influence kids. If the KHSAA is cool with what is going on then I'm cool with it. I get it. Parents get to choose what school they send their child to. All for it. Coaches are often part of that decision. AAU coaches have an advantage because of a relationship.

 

So YOU are who I am criticizing ONLY because you try to act like a)I'm against these guys which is false and that b)they don't have influence.

 

Some people are bothered by a private school having two AAU coaches involved. I don't give a damn. Could not care less.

 

So take your "oh they're really good guys who work hard...." crap somewhere else if you're not going to stay on point.

 

Hopefully, that's clear.

Oh oh stop it! They have a handful of girls they are looking out for. They DO NOT care about the benefit of any other athlete..

Why? He won't comment cause it's not HC... Plus their coaches are all directly related to the SS.. But if were HC he'd be here!

Clyde,

 

I apologize if I read to much into your comments and jumped to conclusions about what you were trying to convey. After reading over your posts again I realize you were not criticizing these guys.

You nailed it Clyde! AAU coaches have alot of influence. I am gonna give you what I call the 3 types of AAU coaches.

AAU Coach #1-Some of them do it the right way, they work their tails off with kids, and put them first. They don't interfere with what goes on with their high school coaches. They want a kid to get a scholarship to play somewhere and that is great, very few of these

AAU coach #2- hopes that they get a player the caliber of Rondo, or this years second pick in the draft, hope that player takes care of them moeny wise, and be come like a guardian. They say they want the best for their kids, send them to a prep school, think that their kid is a NBA player, we know 1 out 1,000,000,000 make it to the league not realistic, kid leaves his friends, community behind following this dream, could have got a scholarship attending and playing at their high school but chose different route

AAU coach #3- works with kids, does a good job with that, but has an agenda of watnting to be a head coach at the high school/college level but usually dont have a teaching certificate, so they send kids to schools for coaches hoping that the head coach will put them on staff. So now you have a guy recruiting kids for your program. Alot of these out there more than the other 2. I can name some on this board but it would hurt their precious feelings
