It's hard to criticize officials when a fight breaks out. I know that we have things that we have to watch for, but in the moment, my first instinct is always to try to do something to stop it or break it up. So please don't think I'm trying to be hard on anybody.

But I think the C took too long to observe the benches. Again, I totally get that she wants to try to stop the action. But one of us has to watch the benches, and she was right there. If I had been in her shoes, I would hope that once I got to the FT circle, I would realize that there wasn't anything else I could do and turn around to watch for people coming off the bench.

Please understand that I'm not trying to denigrate this official. Her reactions are 100% understandable.
