[QUOTE="gapillini, post: 1479376, member: 738324"] I agree the players should be allowed to have fun. The problem is that the NCAA has had the celebration rule for years and players should be aware of it because no matter what we think about this rule, the players should know the flag is coming. I did not think that even under this archaic rule, Bonner should have been flagged, but there is no excuse to get a second celebration penalty. That will not happen this week. Players need to accept the rules so that in a tight game, the penalty does not affect the outcome. There is also a much older rule that was not enforced against UConn, holding. The Refs let UConn get away with some of the worse holding I have seen. That also helped keep the game artificially closer. [/QUOTE]
