🚨 ATTENTION TRAVEL BALL NATION 🚨
In what can only be described as the most AAU thing ever, the folks running the AAU Memorial Day Basketball Classic have dropped a dress code so strict, it might just be longer than some of your team’s playbooks. And we’re not talking about player uniforms — we’re talking about coaches.
According to the rules, if a coach shows up in jean shorts, sweatpants, a tank top, or (gasp) a hat… it’s not just frowned upon — it’s punishable by a 2-shot technical foul.
Let’s run that back:
Your team hits a game-winner in pool play to get the No. 1 seed… but Coach forgot to swap out his carpenter style jorts and now y’all start your bracket game down 2 points before the ball is even tipped. 🤯
👖 So yes — the rulebook has officially declared war on:
• Jean shorts
• Sweatpants
• Tank tops
• Hats
• Open-toed shoes
Meanwhile, you can wear dress shorts, jeans (but not the kind with personality), and a team tee if it’s paired with “dress shoes or tennis shoes.” Because nothing screams authority like coaching a 9U game in slacks and loafers.
This rule applies to all coaches — even the brave souls still chasing down clipboards and handing out Capri Suns.
🎤 So the next time your squad hits the hardwood, make sure Coach looks less like he’s grilling hot dogs and more like he’s heading to a job interview at a strip mall bank.
