Lemme say this about the "T." My guess is some guys are proud they've never stepped on the "T," but have given less than their best effort in a game or practice.
Were I coach I'd remove the stupid thing under the pretense of remodeling or whatever. Yes attention to detail matters, but making standards out of arbitrary things is always counterproductive in the long run.
This concludes today's old man speech.
I have zero issues with the T and associated rules
They have been in existence a LONG time
Why is it just now becoming an "issue"
Like a LOT of things in life, it is a right of passage
I learned the expensive way (within a hour of arrival at Kef) that one does not enter aa Navy bar covered, you just don't
As an aside, that is the real reson for the bell in the recreation of the North Island bar in TG Maverick
