I decided I was writing too much already. But another point I did want to include is that sports, any sport is one of the most ritualistic things to prepare for. Ranging from inconspicuous to bordering on neurotic! I'm not saying any one way of walking out is better than the other. But I am saying is what works for one person (or team in this case) isn't preferred by another. So why limit (within reason of course) how they mentally prepare themselves for possibly the biggest competition of their lives?
I just don't think the USASF is trying to prevent squads from having "ritualistic" entries onto the floor. I think they are trying to prevent the overdramatic, we think we are the deal, parade around for 2 minutes, chest bump every athlete on the floor, etc. etc. type of entry. We all know there's a difference. IMO, SOT's entries are NOT over dramatic. They come on the floor with quiet confidence and it shows.
