BU leaves and PU is surrounded by mothers (ugly) at first than a few fathers start to yell and make their way over.

I walked over and told the guy we have to do our pre-game (wasn't my partner) to try to get the PU out of the situation. He walks over to my truck. With that, the coaches walk over and start up a heated conversation, which this time includes a threat. Finally, one of the other coaches came over and got the coach out there.

After that long-winded scenario, should the BU have stayed with the PU? Should the PU have left with his gear on? Would you intervene in a mess which you have nothing to do with?

• Always leave the field as a team.
• Try to get your partner out of situations and get out even if one of you has to drive with the gear on. Pick a safe place to stop and get the gear off.
• Yes, in my opinion, you did the right thing in getting that PU out of the situation. It sounds like someone should have gotten the Police there too.
