I was initially concerned that we were trying too hard to justify calling a Class A or CDBT on W25 (the action that led to the punch by B25). But then I watched the video again, and noticed how the new T saw it and even started running in before the punch (that is really good awareness right there). Given that he saw enough to cause him to start running in before the punch was thrown, I think you have to have some kind of T on W25. Maybe if B25 doesn't throw that punch, you just blow your whistle, come in, separate and talk to the players ("you guys ready to play basketball today?"), and then put the ball back in play. But once B25 throws that punch, preventive officiating is no longer an option and you have to penalize them both with F2Ts under 10-5.4.

The box score only indicated one T in the game for W25. I sure hope this is a mistake and B25 got one, too (and an ejection). Anyone know for sure how this played out?
