Many boys' teams? From the bench? From the whole bench? If that's true, I'm glad I don't work in that neck of the woods. That's pathetic.

Maybe we just choose to notice it more in girl's games.
Not a chance. Girls do this almost exclusively. And I've never seen a whole bench do it. That would be like a root canal without the pain killers.
You're right Chuck, that would be pathetic. I didn't notice that it was the whole bench doing it. I generally see the defender on ball doing it ("tight, tight") when they force the offensive player into picking up the ball. Fortunately I haven't heard the "ball, ball, ball" thing around here from boys OR girls teams.
