I love this. The bean is like my first born child. Wark is at the Olympics and unable to answer questions, so let me jump in here for him and hit on some.
The Bean is tag, plain and simple. You don't want it. Give it away however you can, preferably without alerting the coaching staff that you are not fully concentrating on workout. You are safe only on the wall. We really only had one rule, giving it to someone coming into or pushing off the wall was dirty bean and those people didn't get to play very long.
Josh Ilika broght the Bean to Texas, Erik Vendt and Klete Keller brought it to Michigan. So for a decade it was only at SC, now it's everywhere. Keep it going.

HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA. "Shame to the sport?!?!?!?!?!" Getting arrested is bringing shame to a sport. Playing a game is great!
Shame? That's good.

concerned viewer needs to shut up and go complain about something else

This so-called "Bean" is an abomination- it brings shame to the sport. I sincerely hope that the ones responsible for the perpetration of this terrible act are punished by FINA and USA Swimming.

I am a member of the missing 10th generation of Bean at USC. Sadly I was really one of the only members of the 10th generation due to the sudden arrival of a sprint group. However the Bean has not died at USC, but the 11th generation which includes aforementioned sprinters and a group of freshman are not very good. Remember seniority in Bean is only based on the time you've been playing not your actual age, this goes especially true for foreign players.
