If Walker's antics are so ridiculous and embarrassing then why has he only been called for 2 technical fouls in 76 career games? Not coincidentally, both techs were against Buffalo and his old HS coach that didn't offer him a scholarship, so I'm sure he gets a little extra wound up for those games. Basketball is an emotional game. Players on both sides trash talk each other all game. Student sections chant offensive things at players all game. Walker ssshhing the crowd after a big three or De La Rosa getting fired up after scoring with two guys hanging from his back really isn't that big of a deal to me. Demetric Shaw wore his emotions on his sleeve every single play and opposing fans hated him for it. I never heard anyone call him "embarrassing" or that he needed to keep his emotions in check. I remember reading a quote from him once that when he first got to Kent there was next to no one at the games so he tried to show as much emotion as possible to get the team fired up. If that's what it takes for these guys to get themselves fired up then what's the issue? As long as they're not getting techs or failing to get back on defense then I couldn't care less.
