Basketball: "Climbing on or lifting a teammate to secure greater height"

Today in random NCAA Basketball Rules:  NCAA women's basketball rules specify that players cannot climb on their teammates or cannot lift their teammates so they will be taller. It is considered unsportsmanlike conduct and is a technical foul. Other examples of unsportsmanlike conduct are "inciting undesirable crowd reaction" and "using tobacco." So no smoking on the court. Also, no "disrespectfully addressing or contacting an official or gesturing in such a manner as to indicate resentment."

Yes, I am having a lot of fun reading these rules.

  1. About the tobacco, I was thinking more in the line of chewing tobacco, like baseball players. I remember one year a women's basketball player spit off the court during a game, which was gross and it wasn't one of our players.

  2. Men's basketball, but whatever. 70's Disco Night promo. Watch near the end where it shows when the game is. February is spelled wrong. "FEBURARY." Gotta be UH.
