![]() I get their purpose, and it's a nice thought. There's just no reason to have the officials standing there postgame when everyone's emotions are heated. As scrappy said, do it before the game if you want the refs there.

How would a pregame handshake when there are no emotions and thoughts that decisions have gone against someone be in anyway similar? How would it teach people to cope with what happened in the game? It wouldn't. |

The problem really isn't the players and coaches, as has been alluded to, there is ample authority to deal with them even if the score is set. The problem is the fans.
1. You're not going to "teach" them anything in this setting. 2. You're setting up stationary targets at mid-court with their back to half the crowd. 3. What happens when an AD is either intimidated or incompetent, as Scrappy (I think) dealt with last season? I'm not sure what details could be changed to make this acceptable.

Why does it require officials to do a PGHS? Aren't the coaches and administrators supervising the kids and being the adults? When the game ends, the officials' role is over. And all this is theoretical, anyway. No way this ever goes national. Too many states, I bet, would find the emphasis on this to be moronic. (Wasn't MA the state that tried requiring mouthguards and also made a boy wear a skirt to play field hockey?) |
