Bro I'm on record as seriously questioning Coleman Hawkins abilities... But when you dunk like he did, you flex and scream. That's basketball 101. Otherwise, pretty good observations.

Dude don't sweat it. Sounds like your wife is dialed in. Good for you guys....enjoy!
Coleman please take it to the Rim more and punish it. Leave the screaming and flexing at opponents bench in locker room. No stupid technicals. Rj and Coleman attack the rim Men!
I agree
, but not in college. Not tolerated usually. Sencire got that "t" and literally cost momentum and maybe a W. Thats why I've always questioned Colemans Bball iq! Puzzling quite often. No doubt talent is there. Makes me wanna slap my dog! 
It happens all the time in college basketball with every team, we are all just still nervous after the ridiculous technical on RJ last year.

Yep, with all due respect to our opponents beating a Wahl-less Wisky and Neb (even on the road) doesn’t equal successfully turned the corner to me. Win against MSU would mean we’re back. A moral victory here is not enough.
The officials have cracked down on the screaming, flexing and turning and loooking at the bench this year. This is generally in all conferences across the country . Surprised Coleman Hawkins did not get teed up the other night.
Wonder what the coaches are doing. It is their responsibility to manage such things.
I was too. Not so much for his actions alone but where it took place — facing and right in front of Nebraska bench.

Whadda think... if he just looked up at the ceiling when he did it, would he get teed up? I suspect not, and it should be easier to just tell him to look straight up when he does it, than tell him to not do it at all.
I am hoping that made it onto the TV broadcast, I certainly yelled it loud enough

I'm in the "don't do it at all" camp. Act like you've been there and big plays are such a consistent part of your game that you don't need to celebrate.
The easy example of bad optics on this is when 'lil Hunty did a Hulk Hogan flex after dunking on a guy that was around 6'2". I mean, if that got you excited, Hunty, you're going to get chewed up and spit out in the NBA. Or the G-League. Or summer league.
You have too
I like a little passion on display.
But agree that Hawkins over does it at times. What kind of bugged me as much as the flexing and yelling after the dunk was posing after hitting his corner three while everyone else was turning and getting back down the court. He played well though and if he plays like that every game, I'll grab some popcorn and enjoy the theatrics.
Also clear bags only. Girlfriend got burned on that one last year…
Maybe I was near a TV mic. Wasn’t in same ballpark (arena, I suppose) decibel-wise, though, as that game. That was special loud.

Didn’t they change the rule to be more lenient about the rim hanging that cost RJ a technical last year, or did I just imagine it in my weird, vodka induced dreamsColeman please take it to the Rim more and punish it.

The taunting thing is soooooo subjective, can‘t they make it a common foul? Or is It already a common foul? Again, vodka influenced comments

No, the call on RJ last year was completely incorrect at the time and should have led to that referee being reprimanded.
Vegas post-UCLA. Maybe not total decibels, but length of cheering time. Went on forever, in the best way possible.
