A few things for the record:
1. I never felt my safety was at risk while he was being an idiot on the court or in the hallway.
2. I didn't want him to take a swing at my partner, and I was unsure of how any of us would have responded if he had... I also was unsure of how the gathering crowd might respond.
3. I failed to mention: We were in an auxiliary gym with two access points (main gym had a broken goal). The access point to the gym became quickly flooded by the four of us, people trying to subdue him, players and even fans. We had to get things moving... quickly!
4. I agree that going back is incorrect... Why go back? I wanted it recorded.
5. My association knows the rules! They're support is because they know who I am and are open to this being viewed by the state as an unusual situation.
6. If the state decides this was an unusual incident after my jurisdiction ended, they can honor the T/ejection. However, I think we all would agree that the school should handle business here - no need for the state to get involved.
7. If the state invalidates the T/ejection - I have no problem. However, I'm not going to erase it now and I will be more aware in the future.
Finally: I'm not sure how blowing the whistle and giving this guy a T at the end of the buzzer while he's charging would have played out... but it seems like its whack and run or just run.
Thanks for all the input men - extremely helpful!
