Jmo, but I don't think that a "knock-down drag-out fist fight" should ever be ignored during a game, no matter what the circumstances, and especially when that fight takes place ON the court.
Ok, I like that approach. I guess I would still have to be careful as to the exact characterization of the penalty, due to issues of suspensions as a result of a "fight" vs. just your typical garden-variety flagrant unsporting act. I would hate to just stand there and only be a judge ("Looks like the goofy ref scored 10-8 in favor of the tall kid this round...")
