Coach gets it. i love this and wholeheartedly agree. this is sport, this is college and, irrespective of the NBA farm system many programs have become, most players aren't going pro. education, mentoring, life preparation- that's what it will be about for most of these kids-
"Life is competition. Sometimes the other team's got more points, so you shake their hand, they kicked your butt and you move on." Amen.
Contrast with Francon-
“I’ve said publicly before, the handshake line is not something I’m in favor of,” McCaffery said. “Not that I’m not in favor of sportsmanship, clearly I am. But I think it’s a recipe for a problem — it happens all the time."
There are few coaches more emotional and outspoken than BU during a game but he reels it in once the buzzer hits zero. my inference from many statements is he understands it is as much about what happens off the court (practice, prep, buy in, responsibility, etc) than on. what a great example to set for these young men; parents should flock to this guy if they care about their kids at all
