Staying to watch the handshakes

[greymule]

I learned something new a few days ago. A colleague was recounting a post-game (Fed) incident (of the loudmouthed-spectator variety, I think) that occurred as he was standing on the field watching the players shake hands. I haven't done a Fed game in years, but I asked him what he was doing hanging around and not driving away. He told me that today Fed umps in NJ are supposed to observe the handshake line and not leave until it's over and the teams have separated. Apparently fights have broken out, so NFHS now wants the hand-shaking supervised.
