Summer is generally considered the offseason for basketball fans, but there’s plenty of good basketball being played at AAU tournaments across the country. Utah-based AAU teams have shown well early on, particularly two stacked teams: Utah Pump-N-Run and Utah Reign.
Utah Pump-N-Run is part of the national Double Pump AAU circuit and competes primarily in Double Pump tournaments held in Las Vegas and Southern California. Those tournaments are a huge deal for players and for coaches looking to fill their rosters with the best talent available. As a result, it’s not unusual for the top Utah AAU teams to see top Division 1 coaches at most of the games they play over the summer.
