Friday night for me:

Homecoming for the first place team against a heated rival. Schools are about 5 miles apart off the same main road so gym is packed with fans from both teams.

During regulation I get to give the stare...er, I mean I have game mgmt remove a fan who decides to jump up and down on the sideline yelling bullsh!t a few times following a relatively easy OOB call by me.

Game goes to OT. 2 minutes left in OT Visitors foul star home player pretty hard. Easy foul for me to call. But then star player decides he needs to talk sh!t to his opponent. Easy T for me to call. (2nd Friday in a row I 'T' this player up; he's a Parade All-America football player and has a "I am special" mentality on the court; but I digress). After making sure everything is straight with my partners I go to report both fouls to the table. All of a sudden there is a big commotion behind me. I turn around and there is a fight in the stands. That's a first for me, but at least the 3rd time this season there has been an off-court fight in this conference's basketball games.

After about 10 minute delay the game finished pretty uneventfully. I couldn't wait to get home.
