There is no rule about how, when or if they shake hands. This is mostly a ceremonial situation. It would be noted for other situations, but I am not flagging anyone or ever just because they do or do not shake a hand of their opponent. Sorry, this is actually as dumb as asking officials to make sure they shake hands at the end of the game as a state or two have said is a requirement for post game activities of the official. I have no idea why someone wants or does not want to shake someone's hand. Next thing you will say is a "fist bump" is not acceptable either. GTFOH with that mess.
Peace
