Seriously, I would be surprised if the NFHS tried to make a directive like that. If they did, this is one that I would refuse to follow. As I just posted above, all of the kids out here come to the officials before the game. I think that it is a very nice gesture of sportsmanship and respect. For better game management it seems that we should be taking steps to increase our level of communication and rapport with the players, not alienate them. |

I just think it is a way the coaches are teaching the players sportsmaship and if the other team wanted to bump fists or shake hands they could. Either way when the other team sees that you are caling the game fair it wouldn't matter if they came and gave you a hug........no big deal.

But perhaps you're right. Maybe I do need to "get real." Whatever the hell that means.

Courtesy is courtesy, if it comes from a good place with sincerity, it really shouldn't be a big deal. I've complemented an officiating crew for doing a good job even though we lost the game. I figure refs get it rough 95% of the time anyways, so if they take pride in doing a good job, I will let them know.
I actually had an official cuss at me one time for saying "good job" after my team lost a game. Then, about 2 years later, the same official was doing one of my games. When, in the course of a game, one of my players travelled and I yelled at my guy "yeah, you travelled!!! Slow down and use your dang footwork!", and as the official ran by me i told him "good call". After the game, the official pulled me aside and asked "did I cuss at you after a game a while ago?" I told him I don't remember, and he said "I think I did, I apologize. You do a good job with your guys." That was a nice after-school-special moment. |

Just wait and see if that particular coach runs the next time that he sees you, instead of coming over to shake your hand. Works for me. Of course, if that coach runs at you when he sees you, you might have to re-think your strategy. Alternatively, for female coaches, use the same routine but stick your tongue out and lick your eyebrows. Always glad to help. |
