I see your point, but I'm not sure I agree that it's good policy. The
artificially imposed politeness might be precisely what sullen, irritated, or
frustrated teams need to put the game behind them. Avoiding the handshakes,
in situations in which they're traditional at least, would seem to risk more
and worse problems outside, later.
