As an AAU Coach who coached during Covid when there were no handshake lines I don't think you lose sportsmanship w/out handshake lines.  After games we would all point to each other and say good game, players would organically acknowledge players they gained respect for during the game and dap or manhug it out.

I don't really care one way or another about the handshake line, one could argue in times of covid it's safer to NOT shake a bunch of random hands but it is what it is.  In my experience you just don't lose sportsmanship because of a lack of the handshake line and you also can much more easily avoid tensions escalating by not having it.  Emotional young men - let alone adults :) sometimes struggle to manage their frustrations and the handshake line can escalate situations.

I guess as I type this I do actually have an opinion and it is that the handshake line is antiquated and unnecessary but assuming it remains I have no issue w/that either.
