My 2 pennies, tnroundballref has courage. It is easy to make calls for the home team. Right or wrong calls, he had some courage. Please be positive and learn from this. You will be a better official later for looking at it in a positive light.

Rainmaker was right about at least starting the steps to press charges. What are we trying to accomplish? At the very least we do not want this particular fan to do this again. She hit him for crying out loud! With witnesses! She should be banned from the games as long as her child plays ball in this school district. Who cares about a fine, the money isn't going to the ref anyway.
There are children that probably know about this and if nothing happens vs. something happening can help mold their attitude towards officials in all sports for the rest of their lives! It could impact tnroundballref's career and all games/officials at this school and this child's games.

If this is as clear cut as it was posted it will help the game to press charges. For those that do not agree I would like to ask you one question. What good is it going to do if charges aren't pressed?
