Message: [QUOTE="cancontent, post: 4654217, member: 10709"] What bad habits are they going to learn playing for USA Basketball? I would counter that playing international rules could be beneficial for players because it challenges them to play a different style of basketball. They will be playing for quality coaches and get to challenge themselves against good competition. Injuries can happen during AAU season. This is an area where I believe more bad habits are developed in comparison based on what I've seen at events over the years. Not to mention, the volume of games played in a day without sufficient time for recovery increases the potential for injury. You'll be lucky to see athletic trainers on staff helping to ensure that players get proper treatment. Injuries could also happen from over training with a lot of these players working with personal trainers in their spare time. [/QUOTE]
