Sportsmanship Author: terry dolan Date: 01/29/2001 <tdolan@tds.net>
I thank Jim Batcha for his note about the Michigan Monarch 11's and their positive display of sportsmanship. I am saddened to hear that one AAU team beat another 82-0 and evidently nothing was done to soften the blow. Starters should not have played beyond the first few minutes, there should have been no fast breaks, the ball should have been passed several times before a shot was taken, the opponents should have been allowed to shoot, guards should have been playing in the post and post players should have been guards, the coach should not have allowed such a slaughter to take place. No one benefits from a match up of a very superior team against a developing team. The good players just pick up bad habits and the developing players take an unnecessary blow to their self esteem. It is a black eye for all of us in AAU
