Boy, after watching that over and over and over, it sure looked like he intentionally shoved her shoulder. It will be interesting if either makes a statement in this regard.

can somebody post a gif of the shove?...
vs. trying to slide the timer back, over and over on the WatchESPN timer, while trying to see what happened.

WOW. Thanks for posting 4GD! I watched this over and over and over. Here is what I saw..... She didn't attempt to give TW a high Five. You won the game for the 1st time in Gainsville in 11 years or something like that, come on, shake hands.

However, TW didn't appear to like it and gave her a little shove (kinda like your hand would have been right about......here and boom (shove)). Now it was a very weak shove (maybe not even classified as a shove it was so soft) but he was pissed he lost and the fact she didn't shake his hand probably pushed him over the edge to do what he did. Again, it was minor, but he appeared (IMO) to be of the mindset he wasn't going to let her get away with it and it intentionally "slipped". Who knows, we will have to see if there is any fallout.

I don't think he wasn't paying attention and it looked deliberate to me but my eyesight stinks!

So 2 wrongs don't make a right and they were both wrong. BUT, 1 is roughly 21 years old and the other is 47 ish......cannot wait until these 2 play again!!!!!

Notice she didn't high five the coach in front of TW either. That might well have been what triggered the little shove by TW as he passed her. I don't condone either's actions.

I looked at that Doug and thought the same thing. Was wondering if she ever put her hand up at all.

"COACH" Must be above reproach, an example setter, a mentor, a father figure and an ambassador. TW should be suspended at least 1 game and so should Fagan for the shove back. Here's where i'm coming from.

1. It's offensive touching to almost Sexual Assault. Seems far fetched but if he grazed her chest it meets the requirements, we live in a soft world but rules are rules.
2. A man shouldn't touch a women in that manner, he wouldn't like his players being treated that way or even his own child.
3. If her not hi fiving you hurts your feelings that much maybe you shouldn't be a coach, especially of the top program in the country
4. This can not and should not be classified as an accident or a mistake, TW needs to own this screw up and own it quickly
5. Imagine you're in the line at the end of PGF nationals and a player doesn't shake your hand, would you shove her? What if a coach got in your face? Would you shove him? No!

Now for the player:

You better have a really good reason for being a spoiled brat and not shaking hands. You did your job on the field and ruined it by not shaking hands? Seems very immature to me.

The way he spun around tells me he expected it and was trying to make it seem like her fault.
