As one who does a mixed bag, from high school down to youth travel, I appreciate this.
The younger the players, the more likely we're to stick around the court for another game, and the more likely we're to get handshakes/fist bumps.
This seldom happens in high school games, though. We just give a thumbs up, thank you, and walk off the court. We've been told that running off the court sends the wrong message, unless you're absolutely certain there's a safety issue.
