That handshake is part of this game. The coach has demonstrated he doesn't want to interact with us. There are many things a coach can do to cause interaction to cease, this is but one of them.

On a related note, my household has been a cesspool for disease this season so whenever either of my daughters is sick with something I will do an elbow bump, a smile, and lightheartedly say something to the effect of "Trust me, with my household you wouldn't want to shake my hand."
Point being, there may be another reason why a coach may not have shaken your hand. However, I would hope that if they did have a reason that they would try and let you know why as briefly as possible.

If that is not how you roll, then so be it. I am good telling coaches what is up and have the "juice" to be supported by telling them what is up. And that is not going to change how I call the game or if they get a foul or not or call a violation or not. I have told coaches to "knock it off" only to have them assume I made a call against them. I have been around long enough not to care what they ultimately think. Peace

I also have been around long enough to not care what they ultimately think. So why do you care if they shake your hand or not. I have worked into a very good working relationship with most coaches and players throughout the years and a lot of that is by earning their respect. Not by doing what I please on the court or field, but by doing what is best for the game. We agree to disagree.

This situation would never happen in a college game. I don't think it would even happen in a Juco game. For most coaches at the college level, coaching is how they make their living. They are too professional to pull a stunt like this, and if they are not, they would not have risen to the point of being a college head coach. If however, it ever did happen to me in a college game, I would treat him and the game exactly how I treat every other game I officiate. I would answer his legitimate questions, ignore his statements, and give him the same latitude I give every other coach. Afterwards, I would report the incident to the assignor and allow him to handle the situation from there.

And I do not care to work with coaches. They are there to coach, not to tell me how to do my job. If they do not understand that fact, I will let them know. My goal is to call the game the right way that is asked of us by rules and philosophy, not to please a coach. Again, they need me much more than I need them. I will be onto the next game very soon and not have them the rest of the season. And if I have them later, they know where I stand. There is a reason in most cases when I have a coach one time, I do not have to deal with their crap the next time. ![]() Peace

Wouldn't happen...remote chance it did they would also get no conversation for that game.
College coaches don't have time for that Harry high school crap.

And the feeling is mutual. I think we have to do what makes us comfortable. Your way is not wrong, it is just right for you. It is just not my way to handle things, that is all.
Peace
