It's the most visible thing that we do —*right up there with kicking calls in the last seconds of games. I'd say it is #1 though ... it's confrontational (from the coach/fan viewpoint), stops the game, and forces all attention to be on you at that moment.

So, it's not that they happen often, it's simply that they are what sticks out in fans' memories.
