The practice of blowing your whistle before entering a gym is patently ridiculous, just like Mark said. It's just another excuse for (a) officials with no balls to avoid having to call a righteous T, and (2) coaches and players to circumvent and ignore a rule that's been in place forever.

It's just dumb to play little kid's games like this. The intent of the rule was never to put any kind of onus on the officials. The rule was made to stop dunking in the warmup. The onus for doing so was placed directly on all of the players and their head coaches. All this nonsense is doing is just saying "hey, dunk all you want. The officials are gonna warn you when to stop anyway." If Texas feels that there's nothing the matter with pre-game dunking, then they should just legalize it.

Stoopid monkeys.

That ain't being grumpy either btw. That's jmo.

JR:

I couldn't have said it better.
