Please dont take this as a condescending statement in any way to you or to the refs.
They may have handled it well in your eyes but in reality they had no choice in doing what they did. Once the fire alarm went off the control of the gym and the thus the game was out of their hands. State and national fire codes are very strict when it comes to fire alarms in schools. It is the rare jurisdiction that does not require that all school alarms be connected directly to the fire departments central dispatch. If the fire crews pulled up to the school and the game was still going on...
