Postgame Handshake: More trouble than it's worth?

[JaxRolo]

OK

What should the umpires do IF the handshake line turns into a fight?

More and more leagues want US to do THEIR jobs for them.

Stand there and write down uniform numbers.

a question about "Pregame handshake" ...what would you do if a coach refuses to shake the umpire's hand?

I don't force the issue, but make a mental note that it may be an indicator that he may be trouble. He still has to hang himself of course.

Don't offer to shake hands with any coach let them be the ones to initiate it.

It seems your league is getting themselves out of some form of liability and dumping it on you. Very sneaky!
