NCAA--yes.
NFHS--yes.

Learned that part of the rule when I first learned the fight rules. It was always emphasized that an unsporting act that precipitates a fight is considered part of a fight. Great incentive for players to not do stupid stuff.

Don't know why any official would worry about the "fairness" of the rule or make excuses for why a player commits an unsporting act.

Good to know! Thank you for the information

We can debate the merits of the rule all day long, but it is pretty black and white as far as rules go: eject both. I think we can all agree that is how it reads, regardless of any literacy accusations.

Well, as it turns out, trying to discuss the merits of the rule turns into accusations of trying to make excuses for unsporting acts haha.

Not a single person said anything about comments being penalized that were not unsporting for fighting, but that is your story right? (edited) Well here are your words, not mine.

Guess I'm not understanding your point....unless you are saying that something can't be unsporting if it is not vulgar or abusive.

I disagree with you. I understand the rule completely. And my argument this entire time has been as to whether the rule was fair or not to someone who does something unsporting that provokes a punch. I've never once said anything that went against the rule.

It sounds like most are ok with the way the rule is written, and I can understand that viewpoint. Its makes things black and white and easy to deal with.

What are you disagreeing with me about? I never said anything about this but what the rule states. I am not talking about fairness or even care about fairness. The rule is clear. I just stated that the what the rule is and how it is to be adjudicated. You are the one struggling with the rule and its application.

I did not say anything about agreeing with the rule. I actually do not agree or disagree with the rule at all. The rule written very clearly. But it is not easy to deal with if you do not even understand when an instigator of a fight has taken place.

Peace

Well, let's see:

You wish they could keep a player in the game after his unsporting act leads directly to a fight. You have clearly stated that's what you want:

The way the rule is written, A2 verbally insulting B2 which results in B2 punching A2 in the face means they both get tossed. Just doesn't feel like the punishment fits the crime.

I refuse to be the person who blindly accepts something without either understanding it or questioning it. The rules should be enforced as they are written, but that shouldn't ever deter someone from trying to discuss the validity or reason for a rule.
I don't feel sorry for players who are knuckleheads. Almost every fight in basketball is the result of one player committing an unsporting, flagrant, or intentional act directed towards another player. Players taunt opponents in order to induce a negative reaction. If that negative reaction is violent shove, a punch, or a kick, then too bad for the player who taunted, his butt is gone also.

Why any official wishes to keep such a player in the game is beyond comprehension.

I agree you never voiced your agreement/disagreement with the rule. I said "most people," i.e. the people who have replied to this thread.

No, I said I wasn't a huge fan of the way the rule itself is written. In certain situations, it doesn't seem like it would be a fair punishment.

Sure, I can see why you think its fair.

If anyone else would like to weigh in about how they prepare for a fight as a crew, I'd like to get the thread back on track.
I pregame to do as much as we can to eliminate conditions that could lead to a fight. #1 on that list is dead ball officiating, #2 is no tolerance for knuckleheads.

Usually just calling fouls and staying on top of silly action during dead balls solves most problems.

This is how I read your point, for what it's worth.
