Why does Stan huddle the players on the court during TOs at home?

[Whataboar™]

Have been wondering about this for a while.
I understand doing this on the road, since it takes you away from the crowd seated immediately behind your bench.
But why do this at home? Is he just trying to remain consistent?
Please advise, folks.

maybe it's just a habit, ..a thing of consistency, i would guess. 
my gut tells me that it's a thing of rhythm, instead of pulling the team completely over to the sideline, they stay on the court, hence not losing their rhythm..i know it's thin, but it's a guess.

Most teams do it.  I've just never heard why...

[CiriusPorker]

or it could be that coaches want to do the same things for home games and away games so as not to break any kind of consistency.  Thats why athletes don't usually get to go home for thanksgiving, or christmas (football mostly, depending on bowl).  Keeping the team together maintains consistency.  The same with meeting out on the court.  if they do it away, then they do it at home, if they do it at home, then they do it away.  small things make all the difference sometimes.

I don't know. Maybe it's a matter of noise. Maybe Stan doesn't have boomer lungs like Nolan, so we have to worry about the players hearing him.

Or maybe Stan doesn't want his wife to hear some of the language tossed around in the huddle? WHO will ever know?

Maybe he doesn't want the guy sitting on the row behind the bench to put everything he hears on a message board.

hog, you're correct to a good point how they want some privacy in their game plans... And possible chemistry problems.

prolly he does not want the fans to hear that he really does not know how to coach....."hey guys, what are we going to do next"

[Macgyver Hawg]

I hate it. 

I keep looking for a waiter and a wine list down there.

Yes that is correct, they do it because A) doesn't want the comman fans to hear what he has to say and how he says it and B)There could be a person associated with the opponent behind the bench and therefoe could relay any plans to the opponent.

Congrats, no basketball concept. You win my "clueless poster of the day" award. Your "prize" is my $50 invoice that will be in the mail tomorrow. Cash or money order only, thanks.

Your "handle" is so remarkably appropriate. You have no concept of what basketball is about. And yet you continue to bring your lame & ignorant opinions. Shoot, I think I will raise your award to $100, just to honor your exceptional BB analysis. 2-30/net 60.

when you muscels are hot and tired it only takes 30 seconds to tighten up and make you stiff in a sitting position standind isn't much better but it's better.

silvertip must be an employee of razorback basketball program in some or fashion.   never seen anyone so supportive of such a disappointing team.

I want to see those stools piled up and burned, sitting down when your huffing and puffing like a quarter horse is stupid. Let the players stand up and rock back and forth on their feet like about 90% of the other teams do?
