As the winningest player in Kansas University basketball history walked off the court of his final home game last night, the arena chanted and cheered their love for the team leader. Senior Sherron Collins said he didn't want the game to end. As he was leaving the court to an ovation from his home crowd, a player on the court for the opposing Kansas State team clapped along with the crowd.
Kansas State was losing by 20 points, so it was not a close game by the time the final thirty seconds ticked away. If you were still in the game, would you have cheered then or waiting to shake Collins's hand after the game? Does being on the floor matter?
Do you think the Kansas State player clapping showed good sportsmanship? Or, do you think the clapping showed weakness?
If you were the coach of the Kansas State player, what, if anything, would you say to him in the locker room after the game?
What are your thoughts: good sportsmanship or soft competitor?
