A " fight" is still defined in R4-18 as always being between two opponents. If players do come on the floor because a "fight may break out", then that "fight" has to be between opponents, not fans.
2) I'm referencing team members leaving the "bench area" in R10-4-4. There's no mention of a "fight" in that article. You're referencing R10-4-5, a completely different article. R10-4-4 and 10-4-5 have different penalties. There's no mention of just one technical foul penalty being administered anywhere in R10-4-4PENALTY. |
Changed Situation.
During a timeout, an altercation breaks out in the stands across from the team benches. Players/subsititutes from both teams leave the bench area and head at any rate of speed towards the altercation.
Do we now have a situation where a fight (as defined by rule) might break out?
