TheNatural: Look, I've been around Coach Shulman longer than you (I know you think you know him even though you quit his coaching staff after a few months). Seriously, Coach Shulman spends many hours a week making game films and highlight tapes, emailing coaches, and calling coaches (I can't go anywhere with him where he doesn't get a phonecall at night from a coach, and leave whatever is going on to talk about one of his players). Coach Shulman loves coaching and his players, and has spent countless more hours of time getting his players names out, rather than his own. Coach Shulman is a great Coach, receiving countless requests to play for his team...statewide. Players under his coaching have moved from D-2 ball to ACC ball over one summer (Justin Flatt). When asked what age group some players would like to play on, the response was whatever team he was coaching (Delk Twins, 19 and 39 in the country). Coach Shulman is a mentor to his players, receiving phonecalls from past players quite often, and remains loyal to those past players, helping them when in need (finding Marquise Crocket a new Juco to attend). About this weekend, the players themselves would admit to not playing their best basketball...after finishing top 4 in Tournament of Champions in north Carolina the weekend before (where the Ballerz defeated the champion of the Thunder pool...the Thunder went 1-2). The weekend before that one, the Ballerz lost by 3 points in the campionship game in the Lexington tournament, where they faced some of the top teams in the west Tennessee area...including 16's, 17's, and 18's. Don't disrespect a coach that gives AAU a good name. Next time, keep your false accusations to yourself, and if a coach speaks to you earnestly in private, don't nod your head in agreement and stab him in the back later behind the keybourd on your computer.
