The drama arrives with confidence.
Coaches’ handshake etiquette gets a new name: a potential reason for a heated exchange. Auriemma’s anger boils down to a missed handshake. Staley’s response? “I’m of integrity.” The incident gets more attention than the game itself. And in the end, it’s just another example of how sports can bring out the best (and worst) in people.
