Another question
If all players from both teams participated (bench and on-court players)in the fight, and neither team has any players left after ejections, what happens? Go with the score at the time? Double forfeit?
Comment 1: It seems typical to me that the PIAA would not enforce the NFHS rules. We get some weird rules interpretations handed down to us from Harrisburg from time to time.
Comment 2: That ruling just made my job harder next year. If a game with a fight like that ever takes place, you know the coaches are going to point back to this game where the rules were not followed. PIAA has just undermined some of the authority of the officials on the court.
Comment 3: Shame on PIAA for not enforcing the rules. I am sure the ruling came from the bigwigs on the side of the court and not from the men on the floor.
