What happens on the summer circuit is often described as a "racket" because of how it turns amateur basketball into a money-making machine when event organizers force coaches to buy packets that often cost several hundred dollars each. In many cases, coaches are denied entry to events until they purchase what amounts to a small book of rosters that sometimes fails to even have accurate information. (CBS Sports)
