Wait on the lawsuit
While I agree that the DA should receive the information and determine whether this is a case that should be taken to court, Dan's strategy of hitting hard with a lawsuit should be taken with caution. I don't know much about the politics of refereeing, but it seems to me that a very strong response will either meet with strong approval or strong resentment. Extreme action is by its nature higher risk. It doesn't mean don't do it, but think through all possible effects before acting in this manner. If this ref wants to continue and possibly move up, the potential negative effects of taking a highly visible lawsuit may hurt his chances. Then again, that lawsuit may be just what the association would like to see occur to prevent future abuse.
