It was brought to my attention at our last meeting that the MIAA has changed the NFHS rules regarding the final score during/after the post-game handshake.
Here is a summary, but the entire document is attached. The document also gives examples when officials should not stay for the handshake:
IT IS IMPORTANT TO REVIEW TWO rule interpretations which impact the
ceremony:
-
NF Basketball Rule 2, Section 5, Article 7 has been adopted, “When the
referee either signs the scorebook following the game, or when a non-
verbal confirmation is exchanged between the referee and the official
scorer, the score is then final and considered approved.” Thus, the post-
game handshake will never impact the final score.
-
MIAA Sportsmanship Rule 49.8 states- “Fighting and unsportsmanlike
conduct penalties will be within the authority of the official at all times at
the contest site. The official’s authority extends to pre and post game
oversight.” Implementation of this rule could have future consequences on
the offender, but does not affect the final score.
