Having said that these two particular referee's will see a lawsuit from what I have heard, and this just brings a new dimension for us. Coaches should coach, but if they don't referee's should ref and keep the safety of the athletes at the forefront. I just believe that seeing the younger referee's, they are seldom prepared and have alot of OJT, which is fine, but I hope we all agree that there are several referee's who do not have what it takes to ref, not all who want to ref can nor should be referees.

My question for you: on what basis do you think those officials should be sued? Because they missed some calls? Because they didn't get in the way of the players wanting to fight?
I hope the law suit gets thrown out on its as$, frankly.
What, exactly, should they have done differently aside from having better court awareness early? Did they set aside a safety rule that led to an injury?
And what is in red is so obvious it really didn't need to be stated.
