Jason Williams Denounces Florida After No. 6 Gators Snub Texas Tech in Super Regional Handshake Line

Jason Williams said on Fox Sports 1 he no longer considers himself a Florida legend and would return to Gainesville only if his daughter played softball there again.
The break came after No. 11 Texas Tech upset No. 6 Florida in a winner-take-all Super Regional game Sunday, when the Gators refused to shake hands as the Red Raiders celebrated.
That postgame snub carried extra weight for Williams because his daughter, Mia, previously played softball at Florida before transferring to Texas Tech.
Williams, a former Gators basketball star under Billy Donovan, has long been closely tied to Florida athletics, making the public split a notable blow to the school's image.
A legend renounced his school over a softball game. What really happened between the Williams family and Florida's coach?
Was Florida’s handshake snub poor sportsmanship, or a calculated move in a feud with Jason Williams' daughter?
