TRACEY SABINO moves up to the 2nd spot on our list. That’s because has simply dominated the AAU world. It’s the main reason she is the only AAU COACH ON OUR LIST. Her program has more D1 players than all other programs combined. .She has cornered the market on the best players in the area by doing two things. Only taking kids who believe in her vision and way of doing things. Then staying deeply loyal to her players and coaches. She simply weeds out trouble making parents. The talent in her program at all age groups is staggering, giving her program legs for years. Her HGSL affiliation has been a booming success . She has had as many as 16 teams in her organization. Most impressive is how she has upgraded her organizations coaching tree.

College Coaches flock to her teams game because of the respect they have for her for her and her organization. Every member of this years U17 and U 17 “B” has a scholarship. Every member of the U16 team except one has a D1 offer. The lone player without one has a D2 full offer. This is unheard of these days, in the era of the portal. No AAU coach has the eyes and ears of coaches like Sabino…she has more power than any current AAU coach or program No program delivers on there word more. SHE IS A POWER POWER OF THE HIGHEST LEVLEL.

DAWN KARPELL

Her teams are national ranked annually and has rose to as high as #3 in the nation. SJV has won 5 straight SHORE CONFERENCE TITLES IN A ROW. That’s because no coach has prepared and developed her talent like Coach Karpell. She has built SJV with an exciting and fun style of basketball. When her team enters a building it’s like watching the Taylor Swift enter. Her teams give any event their in instant credibility and pop. College Coaches know a SJV kid will not just be prepared for college but they will excel.

MATT McCARTHY

THRINITY HALL

Matt McCarthy is new to this list.. He has turned a down and out program into one of the best in the Shore. TRINITY HALL has gone from a laughing stock to a major player. He has turn the program into a legit threat to all programs. He has turned a number of kids into gym rats and D1 talents. Nina Emnace was the Player of The Year in the Shore thanks to Matt McCarthy. He has jumped into the AAU world and that has opened  new doors to new talent. He has convinced coaches to attend OPEN GYMS. He has used his former college background to good use, because he is building relationships up down the East Coast. His players are attending the best schools in the country. The Harvard and Princeton Universities of the world, now trust his word. It has led to Trinity Hall earning the respect of college coaches everywhere. Last year his team took another step and made it to the Shore semi final before losing in OVERTIME  to SJV.  Something that was laughable to believe before Matt McCarthy’s arrival. He has built a program not a team. College coaches know the difference. Clearly so does some of the best young talent in New Jersey. That’s because he is not getting blue chip recruits and challenging the RBC and SJV’s of the world for the best young players. Again something that never seemed possible until Matt McCarthy showed up … THIS IS A UP AND COMING POWER BROKER OF A NEW KIND!
