Yes, dahs, I know it does.
It's a form of classical conditioning, whereby a player learns to avoid the punishment of running laps by showing a greater effort in practice or in games.
I've actually seen in happen more than once in real life. If a player knows all you want is to see more effort and their lack of effort is the reason for any punishment they dont' like (such as running laps), most of them will respond and at least attempt to show more effort.
I agree the thread got out of hand, but it didn't need to get that way. If people would have dealt with the original topic instead of attacking me and looking for a way to prove me wrong (which proved to be a fruitless task that only served to waste their time while giving me some modest entertainment), then the thread wouldn't have gotten out of hand.
oh yeah, you had NOTHING to do with it. shame on everyone else.
lets change topics, to something more interesting... borrowing from jeff foxworthy...
if your farts smell like roses... you might be bistiza
if you get captured, beaten, and tortured, and respond with a polite "thank you, may i have another?"... you might be bistiza
if your wife sleeps with another man, and this only encourages you to work harder at the marriage... you might be bistiza
if you name your dog logic, so you can proclaim yourself master of logic... you might be bistiza
if you name your dog logic, and grope him regularly, so you can honestly say, "ive got logic by the balls".... you might be bistiza
if you have a 2 inch ***** and tell women your ***** has "great" size... you might be bistiza
if you win a political debate, and then the election, even though you only won 1% of the vote... you might be bistiza
if you respond to "would you like fries with that" with an inquisition about the work ethic of the potato.... you might be bistiza
if you call your ex 8 times to remind her you aren't speaking to her... you might be bistiza

if you lead the dream team to a bronze medal, and proclaim the day "a great victory"... you might be bistiza
if you give real speeches to the "team" before the "big game"... you might be bistiza
if you sit one of your players for compromising his moral standards by getting caught smoking simulated marijuana... you might be bistiza
