I’d hate to see it, as I KNOW there are multitudes sitting on the edge of their chairs in anticipation of the next 10th Region report.  But I fear you are correct.  

The whole point of the coin toss was to limit contact between officials/players. This has been pointless because officials have not adjusted during other close contact parts of the game that are unnecessary. Officials should be wearing masks the entire game. Multiple teams have been put into quarantine because of positive tests by officials. It should be mandated that they wear masks over their whistle OR use hand held electronic whistles. This may seem like I'm bashing refs but this is one area where spread can easily be eliminated.  

This is going to happen all season so get used to it!

Just curious, why not add in the other component and require players to wear masks also?

There is at least one school I know that does.  Their team - and the opposing team - both are required to wear masks during the game.

And a lot of schools are requiring the players to wear them during warm-ups, but not during the game.
