Regardless of the viewpoint, AAU provides exposure. College coaches used to be allowed to watch non-high school basketball in April, but the NCAA put a stop to that. July is the only month they can do so, and there are two viewing sessions - the first spanning from July 6-15 and the second from July 22 to today.
During that time, head coaches such as Marquette's Buzz Williams, SMU's Matt Doherty, Nebraska's Doc Sadler and Wichita State's Gregg Marshall as well as top assistants from every Big 12 school have passed through the city
I thought that Dr. Tom was proud of Doc's no AAU stance? Maybe that's gone with the move to the Big 12?
