Pre-game warm ups

[Freddy]

SPORTING BEHAVIOR: Teams entering the gymnasium prior to the contest should not run through the area occupied by the opposing team or under the basket where opponents are warming up. Teams should only enter, job and warm up on their half of the court. Gatherings intended to motivate a team after the warm-up period, during or following player introductions and post-game celebrations should be performed in the area directly in front of the team bench. If during the pre-game or half-time warm-up period one team leaves the floor, the other team may not use the entire court; teams may only warm up on their half of the court. Only authorized personnel (cheerleaders, athletic trainers, managers, administrators, etc.) should be permitted on the floor; all spectators should be in designated areas.

Here in Connecticut, we had visiting teams spitting on the center circle logo/mascot. Now we strictly enforce this rule, if either team starts to congregate in the center circle, we wave them off.

So incidentally, our association secretary just sent out a reminder about this POE to the entire association. I guess you could say we've been educated now.
