I thought the officials did a good job of keeping the players apart, Tommy Jr basically pushed Artest far away from Wallace. I don't really know what the other two did, but Tommy Jr was very phyiscal about getting Artest away. He did a good job, somthing we would never do in HS or NCAA game.

I would and do... If I am close and have a chance I get to the one who would retaliate and get him away from the scene. Also saw one example last year in a PAC10 game where the official held the guy from behind so he wouldn't go retaliate. (Makes less paperwork to do  )

I agree. If I can separate them early, before it goes crazy, I'll do it. I did it earlier this year in a football game. I simply grabbed one of the two players involved and pushed him as far away as possible. But if an all oyut brawl occurs, stand back and take numbers.
BTW, a player should NEVER EVER go into the stands. I don't care what happens. There were women and children in the area who could have been severely injured by what happened when Artest went into the stands.
