I cannot tell you how many times I have seen players "LOSE" thier gum on the court.
You now have trash on the floor that needs to be removed, thus a delay.
I have also seen some very questionable "choking incidents" that resulted in an officials timeout (ie injury) to deal with the problem, and lo and behold, the player is alright after all but now the players have had a breather.
Coaches will use anything to gain an advantage, and gum is one of them.
I don't allow it, if I see it you have to get rid of it.
If you have a problem with gum (that I didn't see) then leave the court, give me a sub and we will play ball.
