In the pre-game presser, Haley let slip that our coaches try to steal signs and read lips of the opposing coaching staff.  My first reaction was that this would be considered bad sportsmanship, but I quickly discovered that this is normal and accepted in basketball.

Interesting, I wasn't aware of that.   Many years ago a WVB coach was accused of having an assistant coach try to steal the opponent coach's serving signs.     That head coach was basically drummed out of coaching.  The irony for me was I didn't think there was enough time to do anything with that information even if you could steal it because there's usually a few seconds between the sign and the serve.
