View show details

In this episode, we dive into the real issues behind the current state of grassroots basketball. From blowout games at once-iconic tournaments like Billy Running Sand to the shift in how youth players are developed, we unpack how the culture has changed.

We talk about:

• The slow decline of Memorial Day classics
• Pay-to-play problems and how some families unknowingly fund elite teams
• The lost value of local leagues like YMCA and Upward
• Why development used to happen everywhere — not just in AAU

If you're passionate about youth basketball, this episode is a must-watch. Let’s talk about how we fix the system and bring it back to the roots.
