Message: [QUOTE="jibsey, post: 5152235, member: 859"] The entire HS and college basketball world does that. Next is why bother with the National Anthem, a tradition? These are not ”useless traditions”. The Yankees play God Bless America in the 7th inning stretch. Useless? It’s pretty clear that we are wasting our time trying to explain to you why good sportsmanship and doing something decent at game end is done by the entire country. And now at the end of the game the coaches won’t shake hands either? The head of St. John’s is Rev. Brian J. Shanley O.P. a member of the Dominican Order of Preachers. Pitino was hired above many objections when he was absolved of his past basketball “sins” by Shanley to get the job. I don’t expect anything from him in this because Rick drives the bus and winning is all that matters, but we’ll see. [/QUOTE]
