MIZZ/UGA Altercation

Anyone see the incident at the end of the first half? And how the crew actually stayed after the final horn to observe the handshake line?

In Massachusetts high school, we are always required to stay and watch the handshake line.

And there's a good reason why your state is the only one.

Because it's stupid.

Thankfully, I only work baseball there. I work basketball exclusively in Connecticut and we get out of the bandbox as soon as possible.

Trust me, we fought against having to stay for handshake in both basketball and baseball but once they had their mind set on it it was happening.

Kentucky at one point banned the post-game handshake

Here at the assisted living center where I reside, we have a handshake line after our balloon volleyball games. Everyone likes to do it, but there's no easy way for this type of handshake between someone in a wheelchair and someone with a walker.

One of those moments I would be cursing at players, such as "quit being dumbf**** and get your a$$es to the locker room".

You didn't fight hard enough. Enough officials saying "we aren't doing this" or "we aren't working till you drop this " would've been effective.

There were too many who bought into the idea that it was a good thing. Then, they stripped the officials of any power to actually do anything so they wouldn't actually find themselves calling a game-changing technical foul during the postgame handshake.

I'd work neighboring state ball, too.

Too many officials wouldn't have joined the protest and would've walked over the backs of the officials who refused in order to get assignments they shouldn't get.

Regardless, I was surprised to see a college officiating crew stick around to observe the handshake.

Yep. I don't believe for a minute that you would get a big enough percentage of officials on board throughout the state for them to change their minds. The ones that took a stand would be seen as troublemakers.

I'm guessing this wasn't their idea.

I've seen this locally for a baseball league that underpaid and poorly treated their umpires. I was the assigner at the time and I was firmly on the side of the umpires speaking up, etc.

One of the umpires actually said that he felt that we made more than enough and that we should be ashamed to try to organize in this way. Trust me -- they were not paid well (I think it was $60 for 9 innings of adult BS). I think I assigned one more season and I haven't so much as worked a game in that league in the last 2-3 years.

But you're right -- look at the last NFL officials lockout / strike and how many people were willing to walk over those officials to work those games. Locally it would happen in a heartbeat -- what might hurt the most, though, is if most of the better officials simply decided to take a few weeks off during a critical stretch of the season.

Probably one of those umpires that attempts to shame anyone that isn't in it "for the kids."
