[stripes]

But don't run around and jump up and down like a freakin' rabbit.

I agree that the streching, running, etc. doesn't look good, but honestly, who notices the rerferees before the game excpt for other referees? I don't do any of this on the floor because it is not permitted, but I wish that we could. I have standing on the court doing nothing and tightening up. It is a stupid rule, IMO.
