Scott Christopherson "throat slashing"

Dino said:
Scott is very clearly doing the "You can't see me." It is in no way a throat slash. I can understand where it might be hard to get what he is doing if you don't watch wrestling or know who John Cena is, but Scott is basically messing around with it. Tim Thomas and Deshawn Stevenson have both done it as well. See #8: Celebrating in style: the NBA's best gestures, part 2 - The Daily Princetonian I remember A-rob doing it after a touchdown a couple years ago.

It really is more of a lighthearted thing but if it pisses off the most d-bag fanbase in the country then I support it even more.

He did the you can't see me thing, and then did kind of a two handed throat slash move and said "it's over". He didn't get T'd up so I don't mind it, but it was pretty much a throat slash.

He is charged with allowing drugs to be used "and likely sold" from his home, as well as possession of small amounts of cocaine and marijuana. DJK's roommate was the one arrested for dealing.

So if one wanted to make a drug purchase, they would go to DJK's place.

Not a throat slash at all. I've seen it a dozen times.

Think that happened at Indiana while Knight was still coaching. I bet they practiced that once or twice leading up to that game! Can't think of any player before or since who was more deserving.

I know a guy that knew a guy that may or may not have been inbounding the ball when this happened... it was definitely intentional, and definitely awesome. (real names have been changed to protect my sources)

Big Ten commissioner Jim Delany has vowed to investigate the recent rash of smash-mouth basketball being played in the Big Ten.
In consecutive games last week, an Iowa player was hit in the face by an opponent trying to inbound the ball. Northwestern's Steve Lepore drilled J.R. Koch last Tuesday, then Indiana's Michael Lewis nailed Jacob Jaacks on Saturday. Coach Tom Davis' style at Iowa has been to press full-court, with a center aggressively guarding the inbound passer.
"That's not a part of Big Ten basketball," Delany said. "By rule, that can be called a technical foul if officials believe it's intentional."
But there's the problem. How can a referee determine a player's intention? Neither player was penalized last …

I agree. For the first time since Haluska returned to Ames, it felt like there was some serious passion in this game. The game unfolded as it was part of this perfect s c r i p t for how to renew a fierce rivalry. This series needed a game like that, and Scotty's throat slash was evidence of hard the players were getting after it, and the emotion they had.

Also, did anyone see the little dance he did after DG dished it to Ejim for that fast break dunk? I caught a snip of it, but my buddy almost choked on his beer because he was laughing so hard.

I can't decide whether it was a throat slash or the old John Cena move.
In regards to the dance he pulled off-- that was the greatest dance move by a white player in the history of the Big 12 if you ask me. My friends and I all tried to attempt it after and couldn't come close to replicating it.
 
Scotty's throat slash was the greatest thing a Cyclone basketball player has done in a long time.
 
Players make gestures all the time. It's not like SC pulled a Cerrano and ran down the court gesturing that he had huge balls or anything. I refuse to go to hN out of principle, but if they are seriously up in arms about this, they're even more pathetic than I originally thought.

Which he should have.

I was watching the replay (DVR), and at the 8:50 timeout in the 2nd half they show all of Scott's 3 pointers. On the first three it shows the bench behind the hoop, and one of the managers is doing the John Cena can't see me thing after he makes the shot so I'm guessing he does that when he's on fire.

Look again. On one of them I think he does it while the ball is still in the air. Even the guys on the bench know that more times than not when he shoots the three it is going in.

I rewatched Scotty's last three last night a couple of times and he is clearly making the "cut" sign (waving the fingertips back and forth under the chin) and saying "It's over." It is clearly not the throat slash which is a single drag of the hand or thumb across the throat. I know a lot of people who have used what Scotty did as a silent "cut it off" or "stop it" motion as long as I can remember. Even some quarterbacks use it as the signal to change the play to the alternate play called in the huddle.

A bit cocky? Yes. T worthy? Not a chance.

Scotty does indeed have huge balls.
