Happened to Maryland vs PSU last season; this season it happened at a FL HS game: http://www.cbssports.com/collegefootball/eye-on-college-f... Three ejections and 516 penalty yds means it went far beyond the coin toss. We will get by. We will get by. We will get by. We will survive.

Especially in HS. Any coach who tolerates this #$#@ from his players in a scholastic athletic contest should be reprimanded. Let's not make the refs the bad guys. In fact, they should be congratulated for insisting on some perspective. Back to Top L.C.

The players got off to a bad start, and it only got worse, I guess. “We have two ears and one mouth so that we can listen twice as much as we speak.” ― Epictetus Back to Top Bcat2 General User Member Since: 7/6/2010 Post Count: 4,295 Status: Offline     RE: OT: Better shake hands, boys    Posted: 10/6/2015 7:39:05 PM  Bobcatbob wrote: If this actually happens, I can only hope that the flag goes down as a bench penalty like a bench T in hoops.

One team displayed such behavior, removed the coach, behavior reappeared under new coach, team forfeited last seven games. This is about much more than winning. "Do not pray for easy lives.

The minute that starts, send the players back to the bench. Call the head coaches to the middle of the field. Make it very clear how you are going to call the game. Tell them the players will come back out and shake hands. if they do not do that, then they will be ejected before the game even starts. No lecture, no anger, just the facts. At the first sign of trouble, make the call. If both sides are guilty of blatant penalties, etc., and it gets out of hand after that, go to each coach and threaten to call the game. Somehow "shut up" just is not going to work. As an official I would also want to know who the AD is and where he is. If I suspected this was going to happen, then I'd find them and tell them the same thing. If the thing had been going on the whole first half, I would have found a way at halftime to call it off.
