I get the momentum carried him a little bit, but was disappointed he ran right through the tunnel and out the door. I thought that was a bit disrespectful. He should have turned right around as soon as his momentum stopped and gone over to shake the UF players' hands.
As I watched Ollie after that, I thought his lack of effusive praise for Napier was a subtle indication he was not pleased either. I get that Ollie is all about team, but I wouldn't be surprised if there was a conversation between he and Shabazz on how to act immediately after the final horn sounds.
Shabazz was the first one to shake Pat Young's hand. They were in the tunnel about 15 seconds and then came right back on the court to shake hands. I'm not sure what you were seeing, but the idea that a second after a kid hits a game winner and Gampel explodes he's going to walk over to the other team to shake hands is ridiculous. Let them have a tiny bit of fun. No one was disrespected.
