I don't blame the officials one bit. The MIAA is trying to shift the onus for post game decorum onto the officials from the parties who should have that responsibility- the coaches. And, as you said, it gives the goof-azz fans a convenient and handy target for their post-game rage.

If the MIAA insists on having a handshake ceremony between the teams to show sportsmanship, why not have it pre-game? We handle a football league that went to that, specifically to get it over with before any game tensions arose and also to keep the fans out of the equation.
