One of the officials at the camp I was at was on this game. He admitted that they handled Floyd incorrectly. They should've taken care of Floyd first and foremost before handling anything at the table. He uses this clip as a learning scenario on how (or how not) to handle a "flash point" during a game. As he talked about it, my respect for him as an official (as well as a person) grew immensley.
