I play on 2 basketball teams, a Local League Team and an AAU team. AAU is alot more competition and more competitive than the local league. On my AAU team I play a 2 or a 3 and I am a 3 point shooter. I'm 6 ft 4 and an handle and shoot the ball very well. I can also post up very well too, but trying to go away from that so I will be ready to play a 2 in college. On my local league team I try to drive more though. On my local league team I try as hard as I can to play a 2 or a 3 but they never pass me the ball. They just tell me to go down low every time. But the way I put it is that the local league games are good practice for my AAU tournament. I'm one of the best in the league. The last 2 games in the local league i have touched the ball under 10 times. It doesn't make sense to touch the ball and to score more in AAU than the local league. I work too hard pushing myself everyday to get better and then not to touch the ball. I know I don't suck though I'm getting recrutied by University of New Mexico, Iowa State, and UTEP. So not last game but the game before they weren't passing me the ball so I stopped playing the coach told me to play the 4th quarter and I just sat on the bench. After the game the coach called me and asked what was a matter and I told them they weren't passing. He said we'll fix it. Now last game they weren't passing the ball again and with 3 minutes left in the game I stole the ball and went for a layup and they called charge. I threw the ball and said a few things and got kicked out of the game and I left. I wasn't mad at the ref at all I was just frustrated with selfish teammates. So after the game the coach called me again and asked what happened and I said selfish people won't pass the ball. And he said we'll fix it. Well to me this kind of sounds like a reoccurring thing. I really think not getting the ball in my local league messes me up mentally in my AAU tournaments. My dad was telling me it's probably bad practice and I will develop bad habits if things don't change to where I get the ball. I'm starting to lose confidence and self esteem because these games mess me up so bad. What do you think I should do? Every time I get the ball off a rebound or anything just shoot? Post up every time? or what? What would you do?


Sorry for the long post it's just really bothering me...
