About a year ago, Michigan played Wisconsin in a men’s basketball game. In the handshake line after the game, the Michigan coach and the Wisconsin coach got into a heated standoff, complete with verbal jarring and physical altercations. It made big headlines.
Later that week, Coach Tom Izzo, men’s head basketball coach was asked if we should discontinue the handshake line after games to minimize such shinanigans. This is what Coach Izzo said:

I do agree with him, kids nowadays get a lot more slack and are pampered a lot more. They try to make everything about them, it is their way or no way at all and it is annoying.
Accountability and sportsmanship.
Video is blocked for me lol anyone know what he said?
I don’t like the handshake line because things like fights happen and it’s best just to go to the locker room and go home.
I thinks it would be stupid not to shake hands people who have been in sports have done it their whole life why stop now
I don’t think we should get rid of handshakes. It’s a sign of respect.
I agree with the coach. They should handle this situation but not eliminate the hand shakes for people who don’t have a good sportsmanship.
