Very complicated situation.
In a nutshell:
The officials will most likely be named in the law suit. They will have to lawyer up. HOPEFULLY they have coverage for this (our association provides this and I THINK NASO does as well but not sure) There is a chance that their names will be thrown out of the law suit. There is also a chance that their counsel will settle to avoid the cost / time of court while admitting no fault.
Any and all game film will be under subpoena. I would STRONGLY advise that the two officials speak to no one but their lawyers about the game and immediately write down (noterized would be nice or just forwarded to their lawyer) EVERYTHING they can remeber about the game and incident. Over time memories fade and you "misremember". It would be a nice starting point for their defense.
Hope that helps a little.
