In Kentucky High School Basketball after the dust has cleared and the contest is over, should the leaders of the programs Shake Hands. I think so! Your Thoughts!

Absolutely if for no other reason than to teach your athletes good sportsmanship.

Am I missing something? Dont all coaches and players from opposing team shake hands after the game?

Any one who refuses to should be drug back out of the locker room by the ear by the athletic director as an embarassing lesson in good sportsmanship. I don't care if you hate the opposing coach, you always shake hands afterward. This is one rub I've always had with RM Knight in that he occasionally carried around grudges against some opposing coaches (Lou Henson, Dale Brown, Bill Frieder, Johnny Orr, to name a few).

There is never a reason not to shake hands, but I have seen it happen more than once with Coach Code.

I have seen games that got so out of control in a fan hostile environment, that I believe the best decision is for the visiting team to head straight to the locker room and leave. Player safety outweighs sportsmanship in this case. This situation is rare however, and I still feel the coaches should shake hands and explain the action taken.

Yes, no questions asked.

Does he head directly to the lockerroom? Did it happen against Newport?

Well in theory of course they should. I could see a few extreme instances where maybe the time it takes to shake hands would not be worth it (as one coach this year screamed "you better do something or were going to start hurting these kids out here.")

 

Personally, if a coach said that about one of my teams, it probably wouldnt be the best idea for me to go shake his hand.

 

Other than those extreme situations --- yeah you should always make the time to shake hands and really set it in your kid's minds to always show sportsmanship.

No excuses, Ky High School Basketball the hand shake is a must.

Again, I agree as long as it isnt going to be a precursor to an argument or something of a nasty scene. (And we're talking about severe situations here - such as threatening players or coaches)

Coaches and players should leave everything they have on the court or field during regulation play. When it's over, they should shake hands, say "Good game" and mean it.

If Bobby thought an opposing coach had been cheating on the recruiting front, he often refused to shake their hand.
