Spoke to a few Massachusetts guys at the IAABO Fall Seminar this past year.
Getting rid of the requirement to "hang around" has as much of a chance as a snowball in Hell.
While officials can't administer penalties (technical fouls) during this "handshake" period, they can, and do, report unsporting behavior to the MIAA, which hands down sanctions, often quite severe.
