Something I always discuss with my partner in the pre-game is if an altercation breaks out, who is responsible for "off the brawl" coverage. What seems to work well is for the closest official to handle the confrontation while their partner freezes both benches and as many on the floor non-combatants as possible. Any thoughts?
[/B][/QUOTE]Good way to pre-game it imo too, Tim. You might go your whole career without having a bench-clearer, but it doesn't take much time before a game to quickly talk about the best procedure to use in case it does happen.
Jmo too and a comment on the first sentence above: if the coach comes out as a definite peacekeeper, then I'm gonna say that he WAS beckoned by us, even if he wasn't. I'm not gonna toss any coach that's coming out there to help us.
