Wow...that's ugly. And to quote the movie Anchorman..."That escalated really quickly". I've watched the video three times and I'm trying to decide whether the L did the right thing by jumping on the pile early to try to stop it. In all likelihood, he probably prevented some injuries...those three looked like they were going to tear each other apart. I'd be interested to know how the State viewed his response. His partners seemed to do I good job keeping the benches out of the fray but I wonder if they were able to get all the numbers of participants.
I honestly don't think I would have jumped in that way...especially a girls game. With cameras everywhere and lawyers aplenty, somebody would look to extract a pound of flesh and the officials are always an easy target.
