Coach pulls team from the field

I'm curious if anyone has had a coach pull his team from the field/court.

I was at the AIF indoor football championship game between West Michigan and Columbus (Ga.). Columbus led 74-32 with around 5:00 left when a Columbus player intercepted a pass. The DB was showboating a bit on the return and a West Michigan player knocked the Lion over the boards and into the stands. A fan tried to fight (and was ejected) and both teams had multiple players ejected in the scuffle.

As the teams were separated, WM HC Tyrece Lync pulled his team off the field. The head referee announced the penalties and ejections. Coach Lync came back onto the field, towel in hand, and threw it on the field. The head referee went over and talked with him. I'm not sure what happened immediately after that, but a minute later the scoreboard clock hit zero, the horn sounded and the PA announcer said the game was over.

Whatever sport you officiate, have you ever had a coach take his team off and end the game?
