in altman's defense....

...he does not look like he's buying his clothes at target anymore..... :D

Did Dana look today like he as really aged in the last couple of years or is it just me...?

Also noticed he had trouble getting up from kneeling position as the game ended and HCGM sprinted
to shake his hand as the final seconds ticked off.

The mannerism I enjoyed the most was that he kept looking down the bench for someone to sub at times
and would just turn and walk back to his spot at the front of the bench. He did this 4-5 times in the 2nd half.
Not much you can do when you are out gunned. :yahoo:

At least he benched Stinnett after the 'T'.

Those were the quickest, most unfriendly handshakes I've seen from 2 coaches in recent memory between HCGM and Dana. No love lost there at all and I get the feeling they'd rather not shake hands at all if they thought they could get away with it. I guess that might send the wrong message to the players, but still....

Has he moved up to Kohl's?

i had to same exact feeling about the handshake, it almost reminded me of the Belichek and Mangini handshake in the playoffs a few years back

I think HCGM wanted to get back to the end of Shocher bench asap because
he shook the hand of each and every Shocker player as they headed for the tunnel. I guess he wanted thank them
but I though it was spontaneous and genuine and demonstrates how humble HCGM is regarding his success.
It's a great day to be a Shocker!!! :yahoo:

Diana has gotten his feelings hurt a lot lately. His roadrunner handshaking is his way of showing and dealing with it.

Also, another noteworthy thing is Altman doesn't hit his players in late game situations when you are playing Missouri :roll:
