Why We Don't Hang Around For Handshakes ...

That is not the officials' job. Have security around to supervise the handshakes, and let the officials leave the playing surface after playing time expires. That way, they won't be a target for fans wanting to berate them, or worse.

Officials are more likely to have the ability to complete reports and send them quickly up the pipeline to the state association. Officials know the process during their jurisdiction, they also know the process after their jurisdiction ends, i.e. argument between officials and coach in locker room after game. Here in Connecticut we have both local and state reports to complete on dedicated internet (password protected) websites, to start such a process.

Do you actually think that security will really care about two kids, in the handshake line, jawing, using loud profanity, at each other for two seconds if it doesn't lead to a fight, or any type of physical altercation? Security might not care, but officials, and the state association, might care.

Your job is what they say it is.
