With the 2009 Mercer Intramurals Basketball season only a few days away, it seems as if a lot of changes will be in store for this spring. A lot of unanswered questions also remain, such as will the Plunketteers repeat their 2008 run to the men’s competitive championship or will scrappy PKF steal it away this season. Even on the women’s side there isn’t a clear favorite in either league. Last year, the Flatliners ran away with the championship, but can they assemble the same team and repeat?
Patrick Cooper, Mercer Intramurals official and contributor had plenty to say about the upcoming season and the changes set forth in his column on MercerIntramurals.blogspot.com. “The theme for this year's basketball season is sportsmanship: towards other players, towards teammates, towards officials, towards spectators,” commented Cooper. He went on to add, “We will be cracking down on sportsmanship issues this year, so please, for everyone's sake, keep yourself and your teammates under control.”
The rule changes come after several incidents during the fall semester and with new policies set forth by first year Intramural Director Todd Thomas. Official rules and changes for the upcoming basketball season can be found on Mercer Intramural’s home page: http://www2.mercer.edu/Recreation/Intramurals/default.htm
