Message: [QUOTE="Townie72, post: 1319482, member: 780"] A great deal of explosive leaping? What game are you watching. Volleyball has more leaping. In a half court offense, most of it is standing around passing the ball. They usually walk the ball upcourt. Is there more jumping in basketball? Yes. But soccer has a lot of it on kicks by the goalie to midfield and in corner kicks. And its done with abandon. I don't know if it's cardiologists or exercise experts that know the answer. But it sure isn't guys sitting in dens eating bowls of Fritos and asking their wives to fetch them more beer. Of course, they have been schooled by experts ... TV commentators. These guys have introduced as an article of faith the one sure indicator of fatigue in a basketball player. It's the grabbing of the hem of their shorts during free-throws. This action as we all know is the one sure indicator of a tired player. Was it Dick Vitale who made this original comment? [/QUOTE]
