Not in Ontario. I think Connecticut went through something where they had to watch the handshake. Not sure if they still do.

Never, here in the Constitution State. I'm pretty sure that they do observe the postgame handshakes in the Bay State, just north of us.

Never here in so cal! once the horn sounds the varsity officials come over to shake hands with the table,grab their jackets and then go.JV officials may stay and make sure both varsity officials are at the site and then go.Our school pays cash and we get that taken care of before JVG and VG (1'st game for each crew)

Post game the Var. official go to the table to get their jackets and shake hands with the table?

My jacket is in the lockerroom for the 2nd half and I'm not going anywhere near the table unless they flag us down for a problem. Straight to the lockerroom on the horn.

Same here in my little corner of Connecticut.

Believe it or not, around here there are some coaches that make a point of stepping out on the floor to shake our hands on our way off. I'm not looking for them, and certainly not waiting for them, but I don't snub them either.

People love to suggest things are all about mechanics, where does it say this is a requirement?

Most of our people come to the game site dressed and anyone who wants to get dressed before their game,meet at halftime in a private locker room,or shower can use the AD's office if they ask.Our set up is one where the table and team benches are set on the opposite side from fans.They get two chairs to hang their jackets on and conference which are set about 5 feet from the table.We offer them a bottle of water but otherwise the halftime is there's to discuss the game.A coach or kid may occassionally ask a question but it is always in a respectful manner.

And that is how it's done in SoCal. At half time the jackets make it into the locker. Once the horn sounds we get out of dodge.

Everyone-
I work for a small private school in a league of all private schools.Our kids are taught from the first day they enter the program to thank the refs either pre or post game (depending on team).In fact refs at one of the tournaments we sent the JV girls team to were given compliments on their sportsmanship which made our AD very happy.

justanotherref-our school is one of those schools where the coaches thank the refs on their way out.

we actually started doing this (players thanking the refs) a couple of years ago-as a golfer I remembered our coach (who is the AD and a former boys basketball coach) making us thank the starters at every course we got to play for allowing us to play.I took the same principle over to basketball thinking even though these guys/gals are getting paid we need to thank them for their time and service.The coaches loved it and its stuck as a staple of being in our program ever since.

That is great that they want to do that, but I would be gone before they even had a chance. Not something I want to do or feel like we should do as your team might be OK, but other teams or fans are mad about something. I do not want to be there to have issues. And even if I knew your team wanted to do this, I would still not be there to find out.

Peace

Ditto in my area.
