So if a fight breaks out on the court and players come over the court to break up the fight, are they considered to be involved in the fight?
I don't believe that the rule book differentiates whether a player is trying to break up the fight or not. My reason is that if a coach comes onto the court unbeckoned and breaks up the fight, he is charged with a flagrant foul. (Please note that in 99.999999% of the cases he is beckoned in my opinion "automatically"
). I sure don't think the rule book gives a player the option of breaking up a fight without being beckoned (which I would 100% never beckon a player to do)
Just a thought
