I guess one could lie face first on the floor and throw a tantrum or something.

My top supervisor told us that the conference has no stance on the issue in regards to officials.

His personal preference is that we do not do it, not because he believes it right or wrong, but b/c he feels it will create a safety issue. He has also stated that if any official is contemplating any type of gesture, that official needs to inform his crew mates ahead of time.

This would be my primary concern, and I think that's what the SCHSL is most concerned about.
