Isn't it standard practice to shake hands in almost EVERY sport? Doesn't the football team line up, walk across the field, and shake (well,kind of) hands with the opposing team AND the coaches? It shows class to shake hands with your opponent and their coach, win or lose.
I think that's the point that the above poster is making which would make sense for a dual when at the end you have to walk through and shake a coach's hand. In a tournament I think you should go over and shake a coach's hand after your match win or lose. In college there are a lot of guys that don't shake the opposing coach's hands.
