The athletic director draws inspiration from the fact that his team played so well after having been arrested.
Half the Eastern New Mexico State University baseball team was arrested (fight, campus parking lot) and then, having been bonded out of jail, they played a winning game that same day.
“A lot of teams in that situation where they saw several of their players get arrested two hours previously could have folded right there at that point,” said [Jeff] Geiser.
How many teams can come back right away from mass arrest to play a winning game? Not many, baby. But our guys were totally not fazed.

Everybody knows that bonding experiences are important in team-building.

Mr Punch: Yes, bonds – of one sort or another – are extremely important.
