If the "tool kit" included ear plugs or a hand gun, that would be useful.

Nice addition. Perhaps the associations there should assemble an amended tool kit, with a few additional tools.

This is what happens when officials are not represented on interscholastic boards. What good can come out of this?

[QUOTE=tjones1;537506]For the most part, the handshakes will go fine. However, it seems like officials are getting put on a tee to take a bunch of cheap shots.

I'm sure it's been covered and I've just lost the details amongst all the brouhaha, but...

What exactly are the officials there for? Are they just there to "show the colors" at this little ceremony? Are they supposed to observe coaches and players and penalize any inappropriate behavior? What is the officials' role and responsibilities?

Obviously, the officials are there to foster other persons' children because the administrators, coaches and families cannot, or have not.

How about realism?

I used to be a parent of a girl player and of a boy player. Neither got caught and neither got whacked in neither's three sports.

That stuff is taught before the end of the game.

The MIAA got a "ruling" from the NFHS last year that the officials' jurisdiction in basketball ends when the officials approve the score...not when they leave the visual confines of the gym. Anything that happens after that is penalized under MIAA rules, not NFHS rules (so a technical foul could not be called and it could not change the score). But fighting and other unsporting acts could be reported by the official and the players or coaches would be subject to MIAA sanctions (missing the next game or games).

This is part of a larger agenda that the MIAA has been implementing about the "proper role" of high school sports and the importance of sportsmanship. I am trying to be careful and present the "facts" and leave it to others to discuss them. The MIAA has the seven-page tool kit on its web site that provides the MIAA position in its own words.

This was an uncomfortable "battle" last year that pitted official against official, official against assignor, assisgnor against the MIAA -- and that was when the rule was implemented on a voluntary basis. At state playoff time, it was no longer "voluntary" and the MIAA and the officials had a nasty standoff. Local boards do not meet until October or November -- although excutive board meetings happen monthly. I have not heard any comments from other Mass. officials yet.

That "ruling" was a crock. The NFHS probably did it to allow MA to make it obvious to everyone how bad an idea this is.
