For the second time in a week Ball pulled his team off the court. Nice message to your kids, Lavar. Embarrassing. That female ref wouldn't "stay in her lane." So sick of this guy.

Exactly - I wish sports media would quit giving attention to these loudmouth self promoters like this guy. Quit talking about him, tweeting about him, and putting a mic in front of him.

While IMHO he is definitely imbalanced in several ways a part of me thinks he cranks it up when he knows there is an audience/camera rolling. Ohio-The State University Back to Top OUVan General User Member Since: 12/20/2004 Location: Bethesda, MD Post Count: 5,580 Status: Offline     RE: Shoe companies pass on Lonzo    Posted: 8/2/2017 1:33:08 PM  I've seen numerous talking heads suggest that AAU should impose a ban on him. The problem is that people misunderstand what AAU is. His team doesn't play in many (if any) AAU sanctioned events. People call all competitive youth basketball AAU basketball but the vast majority of events are not actually AAU events. This past event was sanctioned by Adidas and not AAU. There are a huge number of organizations that put on these tournaments (Big Shots, Hoop Group, Force One, Adidas, Nike, YBOA, AYBA, et al) and some of those aren't even really put on by those groups but by a local representative. There is no real structure for the travel teams. Teams will sign up for National events and qualifiers for those events but most are just one-off tournaments where each team hopes to find teams that are competitive. The rules vary wildly, particularly the age requirements, from tournament to tournament. To make a long story short, if he gets banned by one organization he'll just sign his teams up for a tournament sponsored by someone else. There are ten to twelve such tournaments in the DC area every weekend. I'm sure it's the same in LA. But as has been mentioned before, even with his attitude, he is a godsend for these tournament organizers. They make their money by charging people to attend. A typical cost is $15/day or $25/weekend but they generally draw just parents. They are turning people away anywhere his team plays right now. Of course, lost in all this is the fact that he's a horrible coach.

He did issue this statement: “I’m going to wait until I get more intel on what’s going on. He’ll be fine. Everyone’s making it a big deal. It ain’t that big a deal.” I beg to differ. And while his son was still detained he went on a sightseeing tour of Shanghai with his reality show crew. The UCLA basketball team went to the Shanghai Disneyland.

Not surprised someone advised him not to speak...but I am shocked that he listened.

They have been released on bail and are currently under "hotel arrest". They said on the news that,just the fact they were released on bail,shows that the Chinese want to try and keep this as "low key" as they can.
