Message: [QUOTE="Orangeyes, post: 884280, member: 34"] This team doesn't do any embarrassing nonsense. They just play hard, play hard for each other and win. I watched the player introductions today and paid attention to the expressions on the faces of the officiating crew when our guys gave them the five-knuckle knock. All three officials gave out broad smiles. Years ago, on occasion, I used to do the official book at Westhill games. Several times I did sectional finals. The alternate official would sit next to me and comment on the various kids playing the game. It was always gratifying when I heard them say our star never showed up an official. Throughout their organization they had a lot of respect for said player and since he was our leader they also respected the team. I'm getting the feeling officials like this group of Syracuse University players. [/QUOTE]
