New POE for next year?

[26 Year Gap]

Well, you have to know these things when you're a ref you know.

Clearly I'm out of touch with the mainstream on this one, but I don't see the big deal with players screaming after a big play. Its like spontaneous celebration by bench personnel after a big play...git 'r done, get back to business. And what if Joakim Noah played for your favorite team, instead of Florida (somebody said he hates the gators)...would you then be as hard on him for screaming? And why do I care if he wants to yell a lot...like I'm going looking for problems because I'm personally offended? And (yes, another "and") as officials, should we even care what team and/or player is involved?

Now if the screaming clearly is or could easily be interpreted as taunting, then that's a different matter. And if emotions begin to run a little hot I'll step in and attempt some diplomacy before brining out the heavy ar"T"illery. But otherwise, is it so different from a player pumping a fist or high-fiving a teammate as he runs back down court? These are kids...let 'em have fun before they head to the non-celebratory NFL. Whoops...wrong sport.

I have no problem at all with players showing emotion/enthusiasm during a game or after an important play. I do have a problem when players scream and celebrate after every play their involved in. I've seen Noah scream after a dunk, a blocked shot, a rebound, a time-out called by the other team, and his pre-game introduction (just to name a few).

The over/under line from Vegas on Noah's Screams is 10.5 for Sat's game. I'm going with the over - it's the Final Four, big crowd, his dad will be over from France. It all add's up to a new Final Four record.....

Let's ask for a POE about all forms of expression next year. Anything other than, "Thanks for the foul call, sir, may I have another?" will be unsportsmanlike conduct.

Hqw about a POE the says that Joakim Noah isn't allowed on the floor next year?......oh, wait - an NBA team will draft him, pay him good money, and have him sit on the bench...that works for me.

I think he is a tremendously talented player; plays with hi-energy/emotion; and (from what others have publicly said) he has a great work ethic and a strong desire to improve. As a former D1 asst. coach, I LOVE those qualities about a kid...............

I just don't like the screaming that takes place after plays (in Noah's case - after routine plays). This has crept into the college/HS game from the NBA, street ball, and other outside influences (much like jersey popping, low-rider shorts, shirt tails out, etc.) Ultimately, it doesn't affect the outcome of the game - but it just looks really bad. I in my early 30's, so I'm not an "old school"-guy.....but we can take care of it very easily - AAAAAAAAHHHHH! = T

That makes sense...I was just curious.


"Oh, what sad times are there when passing ruffians can say "Ni!" at will to old ladies! There is a pestilence in this land! Nothing is sacred! Even those who arrange and design shrubberies are under considerable economic stress at this period in history!"

"Did you say shrubberies?"

"Yes. Shrubberies are my trade. I am a shrubber. My name is 'Roger the Shrubber'. I arrange, design, and sell shrubberies."
