I have witnessed four Northern League championships settled at US Steel Yard in Gary and one CBA championship settled in Gary. All five times the league commissioner strolled out to the middle of the playing surface to present the championship trophy to the winning team. I have watched an AHL championship final on tv where the AHL commissioner presented the cup to the winning team. This YouTube video shows then IHL commissioner, Paul Pickard presenting the 2009 Turner Cup to the Fort Wayne Komets.
The league commissioner has also presented the winning team its championship trophy every time I have watched a major league championship final game.
The commissioner presents the winning team the championship trophy. That is universal protocol. However, the director of operations (third in the chain of command) presented the 2010 Premier Basketball League champions their trophy. Maybe the PBL commissioner was too busy that day. Maybe it does not matter who presents the trophy in the PBL. It does send a message to the rest of the organized sports world though. The message is we aren't organized and we don't care.
