Out of (IMO) justifiable concern for the health and safety of our beloved Lady Vols, lvocd voiced an opinion. We do a lot of that around here, and sometimes they read with some ambiguity. But, "ignorance?" I don't think that applies here.
From the limited snippets, I was struck by the way the players who had just completed their reps began to stand while in an off-balance/awkward profile. Granted, I'm old and clumsy - can hardly rise from a chair while holding an empty coffee cup; still, I would advise that, upon completion, the weights be placed on the deck or handed to teammates.
*As a means of compromise, how-bout we not call them "spotters"?
