My son is having multiple schools coming to see him at the same game. I assume they'll want to say hello since they're making the trip. I'm sure it's nothing new to the college recruiting coordinators but we're not sure how to handle it. Suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Just curious. Didn't you say, a couple weeks back, that your son had committed?
Jim, that's wonderful! Coaches making a trip to a high school game doesn't happen much anymore. We saw this far more when my 2012 was in HS in FL, and it's exciting.
When a player showcases, there are multiple coaches there. Players engage those coaches one at a time, shaking hands and having conversations.
This is no different. Undoubtedly some or all of the coaches will know each other. That can be good for your son! A little competition never hurts.
Your son should be certain to engage each of the coaches after his game, one at a time ideally. Shake hands, thank them for coming, etc. Good luck and have fun!

Stay out of the way. Say "hi" if you come face-to-face, otherwise let them do their job.
And let your son do his job too without adding any pressure from pops.
Enjoy! It goes by fast.

Unless your son is a senior, I don't think those recruiters can do much more than say hello, so nothing to worry about.
Safe to assume that this game is on or after 3/1? We are currently in a Quiet Period.

I have no intention of getting involved in the conversation. Just want him to get an idea of how to handle it.

He's a junior and yes it is after March 1.

A couple of helpful tips:
Make sure to be boisterous and loud during the game.
Question the coaches decision often
Argue the umpires strike zone.
Find the college representatives at the game and tell them where they should be playing your son.
^^^^
That video is pretty funny.

LOL!
Or, you can be like one high school parent I knew who approached recruiters and scouts, handing each a business card with his son's name and contact information.
