Enough Is Enough - Rick Pitino Is Sick Of The Shenanigans, Publicly Banned St. John's From Doing The Postgame Handshake Line

I love this, mostly because people are losing their damn minds. A whole lot of people on social media screaming about class and sportsmanship and a bunch of other fake words that they don't give a shit about. The best part? I have no idea what Rick Pitino is talking about. He hasn't been in a dust-up in the handshake line, nothing happened recently. Man just decided with Big East play starting enough is enough. Get ahead of the problem: 

Does anyone actually care that St. John's will stop doing the handshake line? Of course not. But people love to get riled up about fake things and declare it as the most important thing in the world. Welcome to 2024. Waiting for this to be the breaking point for someone, they just can't watch St. John's games because there won't be a handshake line. What really need to happen though? Rick Pitino or an opposing coach needs to break out the Jimmy Patsos: 

I don't know why but college basketball is the only sport where people have a real take about the handshake line. No other sport does it at this sort of level. You don't see the football team lining up at the 50 and shaking hands. It's also not the Stanley Cup where it's a tradition (after the series). Love Ricky P being the first one to say this too. Man doesn't care, he is just going to do what he wants, it's what you do as you get older.
