Fortunately, I can recall only one "fight" in my career and it thankfully wasn't a full scale brawl. The two teams were from adjacent counties and rivals. It was the last game of the regular season. One team was headed to the playoffs but the other was out of contention.

Two opponents squared off late in the game but we were fortunate to get them separated quickly. By rule we ejected both players. The losing coach begged us to turn it in as a disqualification instead so the player on the winning team wouldn't have to sit out the next game, which would have been the playoffs, and the suspension is by rule in NC.

I thought it was a nice gesture by the coach, considering it was of no benefit to his team.
