Fact remains we are part of the game, and we are responsible for controlling the game.

And they certainly didn't come to watch us lolly-gag up the floor.

I'm not there to meet the expectations of the fans. The game does not restart until I'm ready. And I aint ready until the crew is ready.

It disrupts the flow of the game. It provides preventable dead ball time in which somebody can do or say something stupid. And it makes those of us who do hustle grumpy.

The flow is already disrupted. It does no one any good if you hurry the ball back in play because you're concerned someone might say or do something stupid. And frankly if you're gonna put the ball in play before I'm ready because you don't think I'm hustling enough I'm gonna blow it dead and we'll do it again.
BITS, you may think I'm making a big deal out of nothing but this is a huge, huge deal. More preventable problems happen simply because the ball gets put in play before the crew is ready, and these are sometimes the types of preventable problems that people remember for years.

Dan,
I'm not trying to hurry the game because I'm concerned someone might say we are doing something stupid, its because the players and coaches are READY therefore we should be. What I'm speaking of is a reasonable amount of time waiting and the partner is looking offcourt at something else. All it takes is a simple look back over the shoulder
and here we go.
