We've got one school who provides a cooler of water in our room, but no cups.

If I am that thirsty, I go wherever I am closest to and get a drink. In football teams come to us and offer drinks and it is usually who is there. I do not care which team does it. I will not refuse drinks unless I am really not thirsty. I do not think it is that big of a deal. The only consideration is maybe I will not go over to a bench when I have had a problem, but I am not that insecure where I cannot handle myself so it is not a problem.

Peace

I honestly hadn't even thought of whether there are issues. I've not seen a single official do it (go to the bench for water) in basketball here, and I'm not interested in being "that guy."

Pssst, did you see that snaqs guy? He was near a Gatorade thermos at the end of the bench and actually sipped some water. I'm tellin' ya, I saw him do it. Ohh, I saw it!

LOL, I'd rather the "that guy" who called a T for flopping.

Eat Your Hearts Out Guys ...

What I'm about to tell you is 100% true. We have a private prep school in our area that offers a cooler filled with ice, a few cans of soda, and a few cans of beer, in the locker room, after every game. Nothing like a frosty, cold one right after a game. Heaven.

Billy,

You must be talking about the Chicago Catholic League. They used to do that all the time around here.

Peace

I can't wait for the posts to come, which I will summarize in advance:

As long as you don't have a game in the morning, right?
