Totally agree....!
But what I don't get, and never will...how many AAU kids DON'T go to DI? Does that mean they're garbage? In your post you say "Not to mention all of the D1 kids he's helped this year..." What about ALL of the kids he's helped period? Just because you play Cal Stars, Cagers, EBX, etc. does not mean you're guaranteed a D1 scholarship or even play in college.
I hate hate hate it when parents, coaches, kids get caught up in the whole D1 conversation. I would much rather have my kids go to a d2 or d3 school and have a wonderful college experience than sit the pine at a D1 school-unless it's purely academic..then I get it. But most of the time parents/coaches want the extravagant accolades that goes along with being at a D1 school.
