Q. What training did your state give you in dealing with a fight?

We are trained to follow NFHS protocol and guidelines - see my post above (#40)
NFHS 2015-2017 Basketball Officials Manual
page 11
1.4.3.C. Should a fight occur, use your voice and whistle to gain the attention of players.
1.4.3.D. Do not touch, hold or grab players - both for your own safety and for liability concerns.
1.4.3.E. One official should remain away from the action and observe non-participating players and bench personel.
Clear enough?
