I pay attention to the game after that....so at the end of the game I am walking off the court waiting for my partners and they are a little slow. I turn around and the coaches are in each others face, possibly ready to fight. Nothing came of it just talking back and forth. We headed for the locker room.
When we get in there my Ps and I talk about the home team coaches actions. Apparently he went over to the visiting teams bench and told the girls "so you guys only get to practice, but not play?" My p told me this so I assume it was after the game, or I know he wouldve got him for being out of the box. This coach is known for being a very sore loser and his 2 best girls are out so this season has sucked for him!! Hes an a**hole anyway most nights tho,lol.
Anyway, my question is if the coaches did start a fight with each other a) during the game or b) after the buzzer sounds and we are leaving the confines of the playing area....what do we as officials do?
I do have some guesses, but would like input from anyone that has dealth with this situation.
Side note: The visiting coach told us during pregame that he was new to coaching and after the game he came up to us and asked us how he should handle that situation. I told him to contact his athletic director and let him know what the home team coach did. ~~~

The game isn't over until you leave the visual confines of the court. If you're still out there, issue a double flagrant T.
Either way, report it to your state association (or other governing body).
