I say, keep it old school: just walk out on the court, shake everyone's hand, smile and get ready for basketball.

I agree! I alway hold my breath during all that pre-game nonsense.

That's also an EXCELLENT example of why coaches should require the players to put the basketballs back on the rack every time they leave the floor pregame, instead of just leaving them or taking a shot and walking off the court.

I'm old school as well in this area. Heck, even if I wasn't its not even unique anymore. What a shame.

"and Lord I aks you now, if you could, injure one of the key players on the other team, not so he is seriously injured, but so that he is slowed up, so that the Smelters can win this game,,,,,Can I get an amen?"
