What's going on in Kentucky?
From a recent article on the internet ...
"Kentucky bans postgame handshakes "While the KHSAA is announcing the ban, it is not administering its enforcement at the time the games end. Rather, opposing teams can still choose to have postgame handshakes but if a fight breaks out, it's not on the KHSAA; it's on the coaches and the officials, if they choose to stay." In fact, the statement posted in the largest, boldest font is this one: They are going to try to hold officials responsible if a fight breaks out during postgame handshakes ... wow! Sounds like there may an increase in legal actions against officials in Kentucky, if this is accurate.

Here's the article:
http://khsaa.org/10082013-commission...game-activity/ I'm guessing they mean school officials rather than the game officials.

How does somebody take that conclusion away from the KHSAA statement??? Now Massachusetts is a whole different matter.

Not uncommon with a lot of mainstream media. Headlines (and even the article's contents) are meant to push agendas or draw attention (to increase ad revenue), not convey entirely accurate information.

from article:
Unfortunately, the adrenaline and effort required to participate in the sport sometimes seems to deplete the supply of judgement available to participants. And this can be particularly problematic when there is a lack of an appropriate level of adult supervision, or counterproductive actions by the adults involved with the team. After consultation with the Board of Control at its last meeting, the Commissioner is issuing the following directives to officials and recommendations to the schools and officials regarding post game in baseball, basketball, football, soccer, softball, volleyball and wrestling: Following the contests, officials are to quickly and efficiently leave the playing facility following all rules mandated duties and ensure that the rules book mandated jurisdiction ends promptly. There is no need for officials to secure the game balls, shake hands with the coaches or players, or stick around the playing area for any other reason. Officials have no role in what goes on in postgame, including handshakes, etc. after jurisdiction has ended. Officials also have NO role in administering this policy. Officials choosing to involve themselves in postgame activities will be penalized appropriately;

I love that they tell officials not to retrieve the game ball. Still have guys I work with who will go out of their way to chase down the ball.

My pregame includes, "Do not chase the ball. We can't play without the ball. Someone will get the ball. When the game is over, we don't need the ball."
