Myles Herro, brother of Miami Heat star Tyler Herro, was responsible for a handshake line brawl during the Wisconsin high school state playoffs on Thursday.
The skirmish erupted after Whitnall lost to Waterford, 56-49, in the Sectional Semifinal.
At the final buzzer, both teams met at half-court to shake hands. However, things took a sour turn when Herro reached Caden Gustafson.
For unknown reasons, the Whitnall guard began chirping at the Waterford star from several feet away. Once they came face-to-face, Herro shoved Gustafson, throwing him off balance.
The shove sparked a scuffle between both teams as officials, coaches, staff members, and a few fans stepped in to break the tense exchange. One of Gustafson quickly pulled Herro as he kept barking at his target.
Gustafson did not retaliate and raised his hands as if to question why he got shoved. Meanwhile, the instigator was restrained by his teammates as chaos flooded onto the hardwood.

Neither side has issued a statement about the skirmish. Nonetheless, the Wolverines will advance to the Sectional Final after sending The Falcons packing from the neutral playing grounds.
As a senior, Herro has two scholarship offers from Western Illinois and Cal Poly. Creighton, Dayton, Rice, St. Louis, UW-Green Bay, UW-Milwaukee, Wyoming, and Washington State also showed interest.
Whether or not the incident affects his Division 1 suitors remains a question.
The six-foot-three point guard is a three-star player, according to 247Sports. He averaged 21.5 points, 5.9 rebounds, and 4.7 assists while shooting 49 percent from the field.
Myles is the youngest of the three Herro brothers. Apart from Tyler, the middle child, Austin, just wrapped up his freshman year at the University of South Carolina.
Austin played in eight games for the Gamecocks and averaged 0.2 points, 0.2 rebounds, and .01 assists.
