Post-game Handshake

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.

What are the local associations saying about it?

Here's what my post game hand "shake" will look like, as they get a good look at by back side as I'm on my way to the dressing room:

I am with you 100%.

A lot of stupid ideas that start in Massachusetts migrate north. Probably because a lot of Massachusetts residents migrate north. Hopefully, this is not one that follows suit.

The next line in the MIAA guideline is: Immediately upon completion of the PGHS go directly to the parking lot and make sure all spectators go to their cars and leave the premises without incident.
Two coaches and site/game management can't handle the PGHS??? WTF!!!

The MIAA offers this guidance:
"As always, common sense prevails. If a game official or a game site administrator feels that this initiative should not be followed due to concerns which arise during the contest, or with crowd control issues, the handshake protocol may be suspended." [/quote]

Good call.

I don't know about you, Mick, but I'm concerned about the crowd after every single game.

Do tell Scrappy-doo...what happened? Enquiring minds want to know.

At least they've provided you with a "Tool Kit". 🙄

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

Maybe a mute button or a stun gun?

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?

Already tried it on my wife, all it did was get me sent to the couch for the night.

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.
