For in-season games I've heard different things. Some veterans say run/jog off the court. Others say to walk, because running/jogging looks like we want to get away.

They run on TV because the court it often swarmed and they want to get out of potential harms way. Doesn't often happen in the games I do.

I jog to catch up to my partners. I stand and wait if I'm closest to the exit.

I run to make sure I'm not within the visual confines of the court after the game....

It is honestly situational and where you are located to the exit and even what the security or administration does to get you off the court.

I usually run to get to the exit quicker, but if I am near the exit I might walk. And if you have a game where kids are going to storm the court, then I do whatever I can to get off the court quicker.

There really is no right or wrong way, but the fact they do not give milk and cookies if you stay longer. So get off as quickly as you can and if that means running, run.

Peace
