I always try to put myself in the shoes of someone close to the situation. If this happened to me as a rep or player of UM, I would be embarrassed. 

Very much so.

Maybe he is on to something that is getting worse so he keeps beating the drum.

And I don't see a lot from him, but when I do I like what I see. 

Well, if you read this article you’ve read his past 100 ? I honestly just think it’s what his career has been reduced to. Not hating, it’s just comical to see his devolution.

Normally I hear him speak on TV (show doesn't matter) but I agree his takes have a common theme of we are heading downhill on many fronts. 

If I had a blow up with one guy then punched/slapped another one, my employer would have fired me. I'd have been suspended immediately and terminated within 48 hours.

Post game hand shakes are stupid, especially when they are forced. The NBA and NFL do that right. If players want to stick around and chat with each other, fine. Forcing two teams to shake hands after a heated game is asking for trouble. It’s a miracle this doesn’t happen more. 

Amen! When I officiated football I actually told both coaches a few times that they either wanted to re-think the handshaking or be really vigilant. You could feel the tension in the last couple of minutes. You were trying to get the game finished without incident. Did a lot of talking to captains, players, and coaches in those games.

mcpapa punches people all the time during Shuffleboard night at the Nursing Home and all they do is take away his Wheel Of Fortune for a week. 

5 game suspension.  ?

That's basically the rest of the season. He'd be eligible to return for the Big 10 tournament. 

Now that this is all settled, I am interested to see how the team reacts.  Do they begin to rally and play up to potential or continue to struggle.

At least they punished him.

And what @cincyswords said.

That's because you have a job like most of us have - one that expects you to actually act your age.....

Thought this was a nice presser by Izzo about the handshake line.
