The 2 sides to AAU Basketball

Many big basketball names are coming out against AAU basketball. Came across an article today from FarmingtonIndependent.com (http://www.farmingtonindependent.com/sports/4315845-through-players-eyes-aau-basketball-confronting-its-reputation) and it leads with this quote.

Kobe Bryant believes it is bad for basketball, claiming it does not develop fundamentals and the right skills. Others say that AAU promotes the individual and is detrimental to team play and learning how to win as a team.

But as you continue to read the article, you’ll discover many (if not most) kids have a much different experience with AAU basketball. Check it out at http://www.farmingtonindependent.com/sports/4315845-through-players-eyes-aau-basketball-confronting-its-reputation

Villanova 4 out motion offense – successes, failures, challenges?

I used this offense last season, and just wanted to get an idea of how other coaches found this offense, how they implemented it. Basically just share some stories.

Another question I would like to know: There are two version of this offense floating around online. One with two bigs operating opposite one another, and another where there are 4 guards and one big. I assume Villanova have stayed with the 4 guard version since winning the National Championship. Any thoughts here on which one is preferred? I assume it would have to do with what kind of roster makeup you have as well.
