" Bout that Life" AAU Basketball and Life talk Episode 20

Bout that Life (AAU Life and basketball talk) Podcast

Coach C. Collins and Coach MJ are ready to talk more AAU basketball, life and everything in between. In this episode, the coaches have the opportunity to sit down with the director of the Matt Barnes Elites AAU program, Dwayne Childs and it was a long time coming. Coach Collins and Coach Childs go way back as far as not only coaching but hooping against each other and got to talk about topics like the YBA vs MBE history, the perceptions some teams and people might have of the organization and a feel for the man that puts the hours in to make things happen.

The altercation that happened at Courtside Basketball is addressed along with talking about the NBA and other current events in AAU basketball. One of the big topics the coaches take on is the high school vs AAU atmosphere that has seemed to be magnified due to Covid-19 and the overall perspective of the coaches and Coach Childs. As always the coaches pull no punches and talk much more so please check out the episode for some great hot takes.
