How old is that tradition anyway? It seems like it's going overboard. I don't get why it's important to greet the opposing coach before the game.

It's not important, but I agree it creates a bad look when the five Bison starters go over and shake the hand of a waiting opposition coach - but when the opponents are announced they cannot reciprocate because there is no Bison coach available.

Exactly. It is a bad look. Virtually every game that was the case, opposing players come over to shake hands and nobody home. Instead the coaches line up on the baseline like it is a war or something. Meanwhile, Bucknell players get announced and almost always shake hands or hug the opposing coach, often the head coach. I donâ€™t think it is over the top important but whatâ€™s wrong with a little sportsmanship? It is obviously something Davis is emphatic about not doing. To me, itâ€™s a bit pathetic. We all have our own opinion.
