Fox News had a story on it this morning.
I used to work at a psychiatric institute. I was assaulted by a patient once. We had special training for such situations ( called non aggressive restraint technique ) Amazing how that training kicks in. he hit me 3 times before I could get control of him, but once I did, he couldn't do anything ( Half Nelson restraint ).
Now, point to that story here is, some of us have training, if we defended ourselves without hurting the player, what happens to us? Basic rule is we don't touch players or coaches. But defending yourself is a different story, you can't be a punching bag.
The best thing again, is it was on film. I rarely do a game that is not filmed.
Also, did this happen in the 1st quarter or the 4th? That may have some thing to do with deciding if the game was going to continue.
The size, age and experience of the official might have something to do with continuing the game. I wouldn't be flustered by the experience, but then again, at 6'2", 230 pounds there are not a lot of players who are going to put me to the floor.
