Early this morning I was walking my dog & I was listening to a discussion about the brawl in Detroit. That got me to thinking - what should softball officials do in the case of the bench clearing brawl, or just a fight? I don't recall this being addressed in any TASO, ASA or USSSA clinic I've attended.
Now I know what I would do. I'd get out of harm's way, and starting taking numbers so when its all over I can decide who goes and who stays. But I would not get involved in breaking up the fight, I'd let the coaches, administrators, etc, handle that.
Thoughts?
