This study is about the NHL, hardly applicable to other contexts.

  Next time you get too many story points assigned on a sprint, cross-check your manager.

    Spending some time in the box for 'snowing that hot-headed coworker' doesn't sound so bad.

      Four minutes for roughing after you punch somebody in the face? Sign me up!

        >> Four minutes for roughing I've never seen a double minor for roughing. 2 minute minor or 5 minute major. 4 minute double minor is typically when someone is high sticked and they're bleeding because of it. So yeah, give a co-worker a hand to the face and if the manager catches it you're sitting out of the sprint planning meeting for either 2 or 5 minutes depending.

          > if the manager catches it you're sitting out of the sprint planning meeting for either 2 or 5 minutes depending. Going to be a lot of sore faces when this rule comes into effect.

            I mean those guys are allowed to fight back, too, it's fun to watch.

          > I've never seen a double minor for roughing. 2 minute minor or 5 minute major I've seen a double minor for roughing when both players involved get the roughing minor but one player gets the double for instigating
          • rufus_foreman 2y ago
            First instigator penalty in a game is 2 minutes for instigating, 5 for fighting, and a 10 minute misconduct. So 17 minutes. Second one in a game is a game misconduct.

    I’ve kinda done this at different points. Sometimes people need a good stern talking to out of band.
• crscrosaplsauc 2y ago
  How so? The study is about leadership, decision making, and risk vs reward. Is there not demonstrable (and multiple levels of) leadership within sports teams? I'm genuinely curious if you've participated in collegiate above sports - or at maybe even High School level. I would be very surprised if someone who played or participated seriously in sports said they didn't take away lessons about leadership and decision making.
  • Carrok 2y ago
    I’m sure they did take away lessons. Are those lessons applicable to the real world is the salient question.

      "Sports does not occur in the real world" That's a new one for me today.

        Rule breaking is part of the game in sports. Players will, for example, take a penalty if it is worth it. Hockey has fights, basketball has fouls as a resource that gets expended over the course of the game.
        • dilyevsky 2y ago
          Are you saying irl people don’t break the law or go against other conventions when they think it’s worth it?
          • bee_rider 2y ago
            It’s just a game, so there’s no real moral component and the stakes are much lower generally.

  This whole thing is based on a serious misunderstanding on the role of penalties and fouls in sports. One can take a penalty strategically, for example to stop an almost sure goal, with the consequence of whatever the penalty is. That's just part of the game, and elite (ie: NHL) players are really smart about how they do it, and _should_ be rewarded for it. Then there are "dumb" penalties, and worse -- things that aren't penalties at all, that break "unwritten rules", and there's a whole bunch of them, like showboating, dirty shots, etc, and those won't get you the support of the team. And then there are you, know, team rules -- if you're out there not listening to the coach, you'll absolutely get benched.
