i pray that this will bring to an end the contrived, mickey mouse UCONN high-10 down -the -bench celebration after every 3.

Every team has something. When she was at Duke, Alana was a big fan of the chest-bump. I would just be happy if Mistie Williams' eyes didn't bug out of her head every time she is called for a foul.

I don't really care for the Czel-Marron 3pt high-10 celebrations either. I don't think they did it before Czel.

My primary objection is probably not shared by many: I don't like the 3pt shot ... it's my least favorite shot in baskeball ... hence I don't care to see it celebrated. If you see someone who never stands up and cheers at a 3pt shot, but always does so on a back door cut, that may be me ... especially if I look like Emmylou Harris.

My other objection is that the celebration seems artificial and contrived, especially when the team is winning by 40 points. It then takes on a bit of a "rubbing the opponents nose in it" flavor.

Otherwise and in general, however, I think a lot of handslapping and positive comments among players help build good team spirit.

Did I read correctly, the women are going to have the 10 second back court violation this year?

I just reread it, the 10 second rule is for certified(exempt) games before Jan 1.

I don't think bench decorum is a good idea.
Although Christmas lights would be nice, the players might trip over an extension cord, and in the playoffs an Easter egg could roll out on to the court causing a player to slip and fall.

Really sounds like more of the NCAA sticking their nose in places they have no business in, typical, they come up with more crap, they worry about things that have no bearing on anything, what is the purpose of this rule? To show and exert their power? Point of emphasis, what the hell?

dtsnms · Posted: 10/03/05 8:38 am :::

I gotta tell you except for the Slovy jokes you all sound like 800 year old farts.

they stand up...it's contrived....I can't see....they get upset and make faces.

LMAO! THEY ARE COLLEGE KIDS. DOES IT REALLY HAVE AN IMPACT ON THE GAME IF UCONN HAS A 3-PT PLANNED CELEBRATION?

Here's an idea, don't let them make the shot, and then they won't celebrate huh? Wow! What a concept!

In The Diana's senior year, UConn was at Pepperdine. I was sitting right behind the bench, but moved because I couldn't see over the players - LOL!
