Like Rut said....I so wish there was a Like/Love button! So much good conversation going on.

My 2 cents...

1. Block/Charge calls can often go either way and unless you are positioned to see clearly between the 2 players your chances are higher to get it wrong. Block/Charge in this game....Who cares. Bodies on the floor we have to come out with something.

2. No excuse for the coaches behavior. Period.

3. After watching this footage I'm definitely going to make sure I take a step or 2 away from an angry coach or player BEFORE I give a Technical (as self preservation should be #1).

4. I watched the video from the beginning of the game and it appears the official who was assaulted performed the toss, so its possible he was the R and possibly the reason he wanted to help the L with the Technical. Just a thought.

5. I have NO respect for any coach, player, administrator, or fan that assaults officials because its a cowardly act. They know we are less likely to physically or verbally fight back because of our role.

6. I'm with the I hope our fellow official presses charges as this event will affect ALL officials. Unfortunately going through the legal process is the only way we can protect ourselves....

Be safe Ladies and Gentlemen!
