I don't especially like this (not that it matters, don't live in MA) because at the end of hotly contested games, you just stand there in the middle of the gym as an observer, with no authority like BillyMac just posted.
Even without this, I've never felt totally comfortable being out on the baseball diamond with teams exchanging handshakes. Sometimes when I'm base umpire I don't get in soon enough so the teams lineup and create a wall between me and the fence opening. Pretty awkward.
One more thing I don't like is the fact they put how much referees make per varsity contest. As if fans didn't already have enough "reasons" to not be happy with a performance, but to know how much they are making as well. (I typed with the quote to indicate that their reasons for heckling are almost always not valid)
