It takes him two seconds to do that in between warming up and coming back on the floor. You guys complaining about a kid's hair are really getting petty. There are a lot more important things than the way a kid wears his hair on the court.

If it's something that a kid does and it makes him feel good and is within the confines of the rules, why the complaining? Some kid's wear the long sleeve because they like it. Some wear an elbow pad. Some wear hand bands. It's all a matter of what they like. If it doesn't get in the way of the way they play, and it doesn't take away from the uniform, who cares?

How does caring how you look affect anything? Some people just need things to grasp at I guess.

Confidence is king...

If you think you look good, you just might feel better... if you feel better, you might also play better.. If nothing else- it's certainly doesn't hurt or take away from anything so what's the problem exactly??

I'd think that if that were the consensus Liberty fans would be pushing hard to take the last names off of the players jerseys as well, that of course is not team oriented either...

I guess I hold more to the John Wooden philosophy. To him looking good was objective and his was the only opinion that counted.

True enough, but I'd rather a kid feel good about how he plays than how he looks. It isn't as if I'm knocking his lucky socks or headband, because he wasn't sporting a faux-hawk in HS.

Maybe, one of his heroes is sporting that hair- maybe he's seen Cider doing that when getting his lecture game face on.

I think I'm just bitter because I've lost most of mine. I hope Carter pulls a "birdman" when Big Art bodies up on him; if it helps, I'll bring extra gel.

Just my opinion, but I think all the front row LUanatics should get behind Carter and copy his hairstyle and headband on game day!
