The time I didn’t shake a coaches hand

I used to coach in high school (lacrosse) and I refused to shake a coaches hand once. This guy was a notorious ass hole. And this particular game his kids played dirty by his direction, and without any rebuke from him or the ref. This was how he taught his kids. When the game was over I walked off the field. My head coach knew this and didn’t say a word to me. He was the bigger man and did what he was supposed to do.

But you have to understand something. It was all I could do to keep from showing my ass any further and wanting to drag that other coach into the parking lot. Probably good I don’t coach anymore.

Now understand this: those of you on this board hating on Collins for how he acted or still doubting this team, you can eat a big dick. We are ride or die for this team. This coach and this team are going to do great things. If you are a non believer I have no time for you. You are the kind of scum that made a man like Bobby Ross jump at the first opportunity to leave. Go listen to how he was treated here in the beginning. You are a cancer.

F.O.

Right on.

If I am not mistaken, didn’t Cutcliffe just point and wave at Collins following the Duke game? Probably would say it is because he is high risk for rona or some such.
 
In today’s world, I really don’t get the midfield handshake. Do away with it.

After the GT-Kentucky bball game Calipari and his team headed straight to the locker room. No big deal.

This doesn't make any sense. I've played sports myself. You shake hands with the other team and coach at the end of the game.

You do it cause it’s expected of you. Not because you want to.

I'm pretty sure it was directed more to the fact of how his players and coaches acted all game, and that all starts at the top. So that's why CGC wasn't all too thrilled with Narduzzi.

Examples? I can see why Collins was upset with the refs. I think he took that anger out on Narduzzi and it came across as a little bush league IMO.

I don't really equate your situation with this one. Unless there's something I missed, Narduzzi wasn't the one flagging us for breathing, and I didn't see Pitt playing dirty at all. The refs are responsible for that whole ööööshow. It looked like Collins was mad at the refs and took it out on Narduzzi.

I'm not gonna judge CGC because I'm sure he was pissed, but I'm also not gonna defend him. I still believe you should STFU, take your L, shake your opponent's hand like man, and when you get back into the locker room make it clear to your team that they will make them pay the next chance you get. You can be ride or die without being a sore loser.

The point I was making is that this kind of thing happens. It’s not a big deal.

That's a fair position to take. It's not the end of the world and it's not like he pushed him or something.

I dunno. If it's an opportunity to show your displeasure with the sportsmanship displayed during the game then I consider it a form of peaceful protest. F*** traditions.

What was the problem with the sportsmanship displayed during the game?

So what did Narduzzi do that was so bad?

I think CGC was just pissed about everything and at everyone for a variety of reasons, and took it out in a pretty minor way on Narduzzi.

It wasn't the classiest thing to do, and he should give a perfunctory apology (which he did) and Narduzzi should probably hold a bit of a grudge (which I'm sure he will) and that's it. Life moves on.

Like BigDanT says, these sorts of things happen in sports and it's not a big deal.

He did shake his hand. Nards held on and made some insincere remark and Collins wasn't having it. Unfortunately that will look worse on Collins in most people's eyes.
