BBL has a lot of input who makes the NJ AA team each year. They have recruited a lot of their players for their BBL Black team from those AA tryouts. Correct that LE players tryout for NASG and BBL only tryout for AA. Because LE coaches play a part in the NASG, and BBL Coaches play a part in the (NJ) AA.
Unfortunately, the animosity between the NJ clubs spills over into the selections for both teams. This has always been the case, and nothing will change so long as the clubs have a controlling interest. Many parents have fallen prey to the tryout fee only to find out later that there was absolutely no chance that their kid was going to make the team. Many top layer from NJ simply skip these events unless they are associated with the clubs running the teams.
