I'm sure Toliver did not say stay around on the court, and I know that's not what you mean. I just don't see the point to walk instead of jogging. A problem can happen quickly, and I want to be away as not to be a target to the problem.
I can dig it, everyone has to do whats best for them.

Why invite a fan from the student section to get in your face as you stroll off the court? I work in a big metro area - I don't want to be on the news as that ref who was blindsided by an angry parent. If that makes me a coward to you, I really don't care.
Smitty!! You're putting words in my mouth, nobody is strolling or leisurely... walking with a purpose. Never called anybody a coward, I got love for all Forum members just said it looked cowardly.

You guys do whats best for you, I was just sharing another perspective on our exit of the court.

FTR, all the places I work have one parking lot & if they wanna get ya... they'll wait for you. Then & only then will I run. If they follow me they better not let me make it to the trunk.
