Under normal circumstances, I'd be with you. This is my second year in this association, a I'm really in no position to do something like that. However, I am not heading to the table. I'd be willing to stand by the door while he does what he feels he needs to do. But if he's going to stick around for the handshake, he's on his own. He's just asking to be forced to call a T, or open himself up to a free verbal shot from a coach.

I'm not sprinting off the court like the cops are chasing me, but I'm not wasting any time either. I jogged onto the court, and I'll jog off thank you.

In all honesty, I think my first response would be, "You're going to do what?" I would think he was joking.
