Last night I was relaying to the Schwab my thoughts on basketball and the hilarity that is the court seating arrangements during breaks in the action. And he said, somewhat indignantly I might add,“I told you why they do that Reluctant! It’s to conserve energy. Saves them some steps.”
Ummm….yeah. Very astute reasoning. Elite athletes. Peak physical condition. Those extra 3 steps (more like 5 for those of a ::ahem:: smaller stature) will surely tucker them out. Those poor, poor, young men. How can they be expected to win if they have to expend energy returning to their seat? Surely those extra steps have huge consequences in the outcome of any contest.
And I don’t care if there have been a million studies on the validity of this strategy, just like my grandfather when he gets behind a cause with little to no evidence to support his viewpoint, I am staunchly refusing to waver in my view that it is silliness bordering on lunacy to construct seating arrangements on the court during breaks in the action.
Oh, and I’ll hide this further down in the post, but yeah….i was wrong about the Final Four winner. Eh, you can’t be right all the time. It’s probably b/c I didn’t watch. I’m not sure if people know this, but, the outcomes of most games can be traced back directly to me: whether I watched or not. Sorry UCLA fans.
