This came about, to my understanding, when some coach(es) decided that yelling worked like it is supposed to with karate blows, ramping up the force. I can't abide it. A grunt is natural on a particularly hard backhand, say, but this moaning and shrieking on every shot should have been stifled a long time ago. a103276 says they don`t do it anymore, but at least one was wailing away on the sports report just last night. (Her opponent wasn`t.)
