I would also lay odds that my 'picture' would be suggested and supported by a lot of law enforcement individuals, and likely most basketball assignors.
1 kid pushed him down. The 3-4 other kids could have easily made it a dog pile, but didn't. The official got up and engaged/charged at the player (in legal terms likely a MINOR). The official COULD have gone the opposite direction preventing the majority of the chaos that ensued.
But to some I guess that means he would have been 'less of a man'....  |
Since when are these free-for-all tournaments known for having "sane and decent adults" around?
This was not a high school game with administrators and cops standing guard.
