The OU men's basketball team is a monochronic, masculine, collectivistic, and individualistic co-culture. They come together as a team, but each player has their own identity tied to this co-culture in their own way. One of the teammates, Bob, was kind enough to provide answers to some questions that will help better understand how players see themselves within their co-culture. All members of this co-culture are undergraduate students at the University of Oklahoma and range from freshmen to seniors. It's a male co-culture because it's a male team. It is expected that the answers to the questions will differ from player to player because they have different values ​​and perceptions, but there will definitely be some similarity. When asked why Bob joined the team, he basically said that OU was his dream school and why wouldn't anyone go to their dream school if they got paid by playing a game they love? (Bob, personal communication, March 2, 2014) Playing a professional sport definitely requires dedication, you can't expect to train once or twice a week and do the best you can. After attending a couple of practices, you can tell these guys are committed to doing what they love! When asked how much time he spent practicing, Bob said about two to three hours a day. Two hours a day equals fourteen a week, and those fourteen hours probably don't take into account time spent at actual games, driving to away games, or training to stay in shape. These things indirectly affect each player's free time and is willing to sacrifice their time for their co-culture. When asked how his life would have changed if he had not belonged to this co-culture, Bob said: "I would define... halfway... of course, not everyone has to be friends, but get together with your mates of team probably helps. Finally, Bob was asked how important it was for him to be a part of the team and he said, “I have been so grateful to be a part of this team for the last 4 years and to be a part of rebuilding this program. OU is returning to its winning ways and it is a true honor to be involved in laying the foundation for the future!” (Bob, personal communication, March 2, 2014) All these guys are there because they do what they love, which is playing basketball. It's important to each of these players and it's great to see how much effort and dedication they put into doing what they love former players likely look back and still identify the OU men's basketball team as part of their co-culture, even if they are not currently part of the team.
