  Hooray!!  Outstanding decision.  They shouldn't even have to tell the players, but I guess w/ the corrosion and coarsening of American culture it necessitates this ruling.  Awesome!!
  
  I don't normally watch B-ball; kind of a baseball/football/volleyball kinda guy.  But I applaud this discerning move.
