If she's hot, she gets a hug and a kiss. Coaches and partners. Not players. I don't want to officiate games in prison.

There's a prominent D2 assignor in this area of the country who doesn't want his officials shaking hands or fist bumping with the players during introductions.

What does that assignor want us to do when we are approached by the players and they are looking to acknowledge us? Most of the time I even am in those situations is because when the players are introduced, they are running by us to shake the hands/fist pound the head coach and either on the way to them or way back they come to us. I used to not like it either, but not sure what it would look like if we refused to do shake/pound their hand.

Peace

I don't know for sure what he wants as I do not work for him. But I do have a very good friend (and others I know) who does. For a while in games we worked together my friend would step away from the table and stretch or fiddle around with something during introductions. He has stopped doing that in our games but I'm not sure what he does in games he works for the supervisor in question.

(I just got an email from my buddy, I'll ask him right now if this is still a policy and what they do)

JRut, my buddy says he either turns toward the table and stretches or just moves to the other side of the court.

I have no idea why this supervisor has this particular policy.

It would certainly give new meaning to backcourt violation.
