I was told as officials you get the hell out of the way and don't try to break it up. Be a witness. Get numbers for suspensions and the like.
Granted, I don't think any of us are likely to see an NBA-style brawl with NBA-size players anytime soon, but there have been instances of high school brawls.
Are we, as officials, supposed to bail? I know I'm not getting paid enough to play sheriff.
