Last time we played Hartford or was it last time we played Cinci? Can't remember, but totally agree - it tends to be pretty quick and meaningless unless there is a specific personal or professional issue that one or other coach wants to address.Not sure what, if anything, you can read into a handshake. When was the last time you saw a post-game kiss and a hug?
Usually he bends over and whispers a little something.Not sure what, if anything, you can read into a handshake. When was the last time you saw a post-game kiss and a hug?
What do you want coach P to do? thank Geno for humiliating her team again....
I'm pretty sure he wasn't thrilled that Duke decided to put on a full-court press, under 2:00 and down 20+ points. Really low class.Seemed like a pretty perfunctory hand shake between Geno and Joanne after the game.
I cannot remember that ever occurring. We may have to wait until Dee is coaching against Seimone.Not sure what, if anything, you can read into a handshake. When was the last time you saw a post-game kiss and a hug?
Seriously people?

Was annoyed a bit by this as well, though I surmised that they (Duke) might be making a last ditch effort to get the point spread below 20, possibly to lessen the sting....thoughts?
Because "people" (plural) didn't start the thread (or really question the handshake). A "person" (singular) did.Why person? People is correct.
Maybe she just wanted to make sure her team had the attitude of competing to the end. Forcing them into a press forced them to engage.
Yeah, it is more of a way to force the kids to focus on something and compete to the end of the game rather than a tactic she expected to work against UCONN's good ball handlers for a whole game. An act of displacing her kid's attention from the score and onto a task at hand. She was simply trying to get something out of what was a lost cause at that point.She waits a whole game to force them into a press? Hmmmm...I suppose, with the fouls being called the way they are now, that's the way to keep the numbers down.....I suppose

"Show me a good loser, and I'll show you a loser." - Vince LombardiNot an unusual reaction from a losing coach. Muffett & Geno usually only shared pleasantries before the game. If you go back and look at the times we beat Notre Dame Muffett usually did a "fly-by" handshake too. No fun losing.
The worst thing he ever said."Show me a good loser, and I'll show you a loser." - Vince Lombardi
IIRC, that interlude occurred during the game, not post-game. They were guarding each other and both were getting pretty rough - the ref stepped in to separate them, but not before Dee said 'enough' in her own unique way.View attachment 4529
