Being unemployed this time of year is great. All I did yesterday was sit in front of the television and watch basketball. Ditto for today!
I saw this happen a couple of times -- notably in the Florida game and the Tennessee game... A player dunks the ball or makes a great block and lets out a HUGE scream. The screams weren't directed to anyone on the other teams, but it could have been perceived that way. They were either a way to get their teammates pumped up or it was their way of saying to the crowd or the television audience "LOOK AT ME!" IMO it was more the latter than the former. Nothing was called in either instance (once in the Florida game and two or three times in the Tennessee game). Do you guys think this could have (or should have) been a cut-and-dry unsportsmanlike T? Time and score may have been a factor in the non-calls ... Florida was up by about 20 in the second half and Tennessee was nip and tuck the entire game. Just looking for feedback...

Just a howl directed at no one in particular? Nah, not a "cut&dry" T IMO. More like a quiet "Cut that out, OK big guy".

Thanks ...
A could be a good case of preventative officiating and game management.

Just my $0.02
If it's a spontaneous reaction directed at no one, I'd concur with dan_ref. If the player gets into close proximity of an opponent and then does it, probably needs to be whacked.
