Inconsistent Procedures ???
Sporting Behavior Pre-Game Situations was a NFHS Point of Emphasis in 2002-03. It was again a Point of Emphasis in 2003-04. In both cases the NFHS suggested that state or local athletic conferences should establish appropriate pregame procedures, and protocols.
Here in Connecticut our state high school athletic governing body (CIAC) came out with this: Team members are not allowed to congregate at midcourt during introductions. Officials will direct players to free throw line area in front of respective benches.
Here is a case where the national organization seems to have allowed each state to come up with it's own guidelines. This may be why we don't have consistency from state to state.
