Most practices are nothing but 5 on 5 with no fundamentals being taught at any level of AAU. Most, not all, that coach are wanna be coaches that know little about how the game should be played. They let the players do whatever they want, then the players and the parents think that this is what should be accepted when they get back to their high school teams. Sure you get to play in front of some college coaches, but still its the high school coach that the college coach relies on to give a realistic view on what the player can or cannot do, grades, and what kind of person the player is. These are important things that AAU coaches know little or nothing about.
