Before I retired from teaching, teachers were told that if they allowed students to fight without, at least, making an attempt to break it up, that we could be sued if the participants were severely injured. The only option for us to not intercede was if we were concerned for our own safety. I sure hope that this doesn't apply to basketball officials as well.
