I dunno, I will ask the board and see what protocols they have for the situation.

Thanks
I'd have to verify that with some of the vets...but like you, I'm inclined to stepping in to break it up....that's just me and at the end of the day, they are just kids. That's my court and I'm responsible for what goes on out there...

Had a JRHS tourney a few weeks back and a kid from the losing team approached the other bench after they slapped hands after the game...I guess somebody from the winning team said something and this kid took exception...It was right in front of me and I stepped in, bear hugged the kid and moved him away while explaining to him that he didn't really want to follow through with what he thought he did.....I think my words sunk in quick as he said "your right" and went back to his own bench area away from the other team.
