Stuff creeping into my game

A couple years ago, I noticed that I'd developed MTS (Multiple Tweet Syndrome) without even realizing it was happening. I was tweet-tweet-tweeting all over the place. It was partly a result of officiating lacrosse, where that is encouraged. But I had to work hard to get rid of it, b/c it had become such a bad habit. I still do it occasionally on a quick travel that takes me by surprise, but for the most part, it's gone from my game.

Now, however, I discover that I have JPS (Just Point Syndrome). I have no idea how it happened, but when I call a foul for an illegal screen, I neglect to put up a fist!

I first noticed this at camp this summer, but I chalked it up to being nervous. But it's still happening. I know we see it from some of the "big-wigs" on TV, but I don't like it and now I've got to get rid of this bad habit too. One more reason to avoid the bad habits in the first place.

Once in a while I'll have a case of JPS. Usually on rebounding and screening fouls, but occasionally on PC fouls when I'm the C. Watching too much D-I men's on TV, I guess. Doesn't really bother me, though.
