if you need a drink....go get one from either bench.....
do we really think that people are paying attention to us during timeouts? does it really matter if we get a drink from one bench or the other? while everyone has an ego, it shouldn't be large enough to think that people care wether you drink during the game or where it comes from....we don't matter THAT MUCH to people.... |

While I would certainly take a drink if offered by game management, I would never approach the bench and ask for one. It's not about ego, and it's not about what grandma thinks sitting in the stands. Frankly, it's not professional to request a favor (a drink) from one team. And I sure wouldn't want to be the guy to pull that stunt when an evaluator, assigner, board president, etc., happens to be sitting in the stands watching his or her nephew play.

I just go right to Gatorade thermos at end of bench with all the cups. Having said this, I probably do it 2, 3 times a season. Much ado about nothing. If I'm really parched, I grab a gulp. |

Heck, sometimes there's not even a school official there to meet and walk us to the appropriate official's room before game time, much less being given access to a bottle of water.

just curious, has anyone ever heard a coach, player, or fan say: "you haven't given us a call all game and I know why....you had a drink from the other team!".... c'mon people...if you're thirsty (which doesn't happen all that often during a game), just grab a drink. if you still don't feel comfortable taking a drink during a game, that's your prerogative. i just don't understand why people feel that this is a big "no - no". |

As Rich alluded to, if I can't go a half without water, I didn't hydrate enough before the game. Now, in AAU-type games with no locker room, I see no problem with having a bottle of water at the table. If I'm going to break protocol and drink during the game, on the court, I'd rather provide my own water than take some from one team. Again, it's obviously going to be different with locale. It may be perfectly accepted in your area, so have a cup.

What is the big deal about getting a drink (cup of water from end of the bench) during a time-out? We are running up and down the floor just like the players and they get water during time-outs...If I am thristy I will walk over and grab a cup of water. I don't think it is unprofessional at all and I haven't ever had anyone question why I am drinking water during the game. I also say "purple" and "orange" when teams have uniforms that color so maybe I am just strange.
