Why don't we get to stretch???

On a more serious note, I do not like the fact that we are expected to act like coaches in pre-game (standing basically still and watching one of the teams warm-up for 15 - 20 minutes) after stretching BEFORE we get out on the court. We are then expected to be able to run with the players (who have been warming up and getting loose while we STAND for 15 - 20 minutes) as soon as the ball is tossed.

I do sneak in a stretch or two in pre-game, but would like to be able to continue to get loose while watching the teams warm-up. I cannot recall ever seeing a basketball official warming up and continuing to stretch while teams warm-up. On the other hand, I have talked to many a partner who have "tweaked something" just after the opening tip.

Is that a men's room reference?

It's hard to come out of the gate. It's one of the biggest gripes I have about having to stand there for 20 minutes, especially after a long drive. In my fantasy world, I'd spend that time on a treadmill or an elliptical machine getting loose.

The first two minutes of my games is the injury zone. I just move as slow as I can get away with till I feel loose again. Rarely pull anything after that but have felt,hammie and calf twinges, in that time period on a fairly consistent basis.

I'm considering the run along the sideline deal no matter who doesn't like it...

Thumbs up

Thats why I like NCAA Womens mechanics. On the court at "15:00", off the court at "10:00", back out at "3:00" without coats. Come out more ready to go. Usually I will go to trainers room and use bike or treadmill.

Please don't.

(I don't know what's wrong with me. I woke up this morning, powered up my computer, started posting on my favorite non-porn website, and found myself posting in mbyron (note my title above). I actually have had to look several words in a dictionary to check for spelling, and to see if I actually knew the correct meaning of the word, before posting. I swear that I'm not doing this on purpose. This reminds me of Charles Dickens', "A Christmas Carol", that I read back in seventh grade. Did three ghosts, mbyron Past, mbyron Present, and mbyron Future, come and visit me in a dream last night? Help. I can't stop. Help.)
