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.

In HS and college I would say you do not get involved. At the NBA level, these guys are instructed a lot differently and their mechanics or method of action is entirely different. I would not judge everything based on what the NBA does. They get involved if they can. But remember their heath insurance and other expenses will be taken care of by the NBA.
