FYP before someone gets to ya! @lvocdEvidently a secret scrimmage was not all that much of a secret. I think this team is talented mainly because of speed and athleticism. Spearman is 6'5" but she could play guard. Looking forward to thescrimmageexhibition tomorrow.
For any new fans unfamiliar with the distinction, think of a scrimmage as practice against another team where coaches agree to their own flexible rules for the scrimmage, can instruct referees to be especially diligent on certain calls (or call it very loose for a period), and (if agreed) can stop play to interact with their players or each other.
An exhibition is more like a dress rehearsal in a staged play--everything occurs just as it will on opening night. Even if you forget your lines and the scenery falls, you just have to keep going. Everything in an exhibition game is exactly as it would be for a real game--the calls, the clock, the rules. And most likely, so will the entire day's schedule for the coaches and players: morning workout, pregame meal, meetings, dressing, stretching, everything you want your players and staff to do on real game days.
The same goes for the visiting team, with the addition of getting on the bus, finding the visitor's locker room, the arena floor entrance, etc. (Poor Eagles might get spoiled by this exhibition experience!)
Didn't mean to insult anyone's intelligence; just aware that with our new coach we're going to attract a lot of new fans, and hopefully young fans.
