Exactly. We all know the problems stemming from AAU. "Teach them fundamentals" is not a solution.

How do you break the strangle hold? He offered nothing. Maybe it's helpful that someone with his stature and name recognition is bringing attention to the problem. Maybe more big names need to speak up and bring about a real exchange of ideas on how to solve it.

i think it's huge that someone of his stature is saying something. and kobe has such a basketball mind, like SP said, that one can hope he can start working with the league post-retirement to help find solutions to these problems. plus, he's such a valuable league ambassador i don't see how Silver isn't offering him a job. shite, he could be commissioner one day.

Amen, Kobe!

In an ideal world USA Basketball would take over the AAU. There would be an advisory committee of respected basketball minds, like George Karl and Coach K, to help restructure the organization. Heck, maybe even appoint Coach K as the president whenever he decides to stop coaching.
