But, it looked odd to me.
I have been taught to go onto the court and its business/game face and to have already warmed up. Just curious, does this change as you get higher up? College? Anyone know if this is required by the NBA? Just curious.

I stretch out moderately during this time....not laying on the floor or anything but a little jogging and leg stretches. I've injured my legs before and a stretch out 15-20 minutes before running hard is not good...too far apart in time. It IS an atheletic event, not a board meeting.
