Slapping hands with all four teammates on every make (and a lot of misses, it seems). Dumb. I realize this has been going on quite a while, but when did this start?
Giving five on free throws
- Thread starter HotelAlphaWilcoKilo
- Start date
Well, the timing sounds about right, I don't remember the team or the year but it's been going on a long time. It's so bad now that if a guy is shooting 2 and clangs the first one and all his teemates don't come running in to slap hands, speculation starts that there is a chemistry problem in the team. It wold seem a simple matter to make a rule against it. Pretty clear Aaron White doesn't want the slaps but doesn't raise a fuss about it.
Agree with OP. I hate it also and slows the game down even more. I wish they'd stop it. Give a delay of game or something.

Duke 1998 final four. Elton brand fouled 10 seconds into the game. Makes first foul shot, three teammates high five him.
Same era, they also started the team huddle before free throws.
I found this in 30 seconds. Could find earlier if you try.

That's some nice sleuthin'. It makes sense Duke and Coach Ratfaceski would figure prominently in this. Every kid playing Y-ball who slaps the floor on defense (and every parent who doesn't immediately chastise them) oughta be waterboarded until the behavior is corrected.

Never understood this obligatory receiving line of well-wishers at the foul line.
To me it seems like an, albeit small, very unnecessary distraction for the player that's shooting. As a coach I'd want my player concentrating 100% on either making the same stroke on a made shot, or the correction necessary on a missed shot.
Undoubtedly, no one would want to play for me.
