Some Connecticut high school basketball teams shaking hands before games, not after

The Southern Connecticut Conference is experimenting with shaking hands before games, instead of after the high school basketball games.
The article from the Stamford Advocate discusses a concerning trend in Connecticut high school sports where traditional pregame and postgame handshakes are being replaced by fist bumps or eliminated entirely due to increasing incidents of poor sportsmanship. The Connecticut Interscholastic Athletic Conference (CIAC) has noted a rise in unsportsmanlike behavior, leading to the modification of handshake protocols to minimize confrontations. This shift comes after several notable incidents, including a fight during a handshake line at a basketball game between Bassick and Wilbur Cross, and other similar occurrences in various sports. The CIAC and school officials are now focusing on promoting respect and sportsmanship, with some schools opting for no-contact greetings or having coaches and officials oversee the handshake lines to prevent conflicts. The article highlights the broader implications of these changes on the culture of sportsmanship in high school athletics.
