I fail to see what all of the controversy is about. The teams can still shake hands if they want, but the officials are not allowed to oversee it. It appears to me that the KHSAA is just trying to protect itself from litigation, and who can blame them in today's society.

I think everyone understands that they can still shake hands.But if there is an incident what are the consequeces.Do coaches get suspended?Do the kids get suspended?Does the school get fined?How do you figure out who started it?These are questions that should have been answered before this was even released to the schools to enforce.If it were me i wouldnt even consider shaking hands without knowing the answers to these questions.And the KHSAA still hasnt addressed it yet. Mr.Tackett has dropped the ball on this issue.
