Here's a thought: in a "rivalry" game...BLOW THE WHISTLE!
If the preceding game action was officiated with the same "slow" whistle that this jump ball situation was, it's no wonder the game ended like it did. This game didn't "erupt" into chaos suddenly...the fuse was already lit and had been "smoldering" for a while. |

You can take your two cents with you and hit the road. And I will never, ever grab a player to try and break up a fight. If I can get between two players I will, but once the melee starts I'm simply observing. Last edited by SC Official; Sat Dec 26, 2015 at 12:08am. |

This page has a slightly longer version of the video.
http://www.timesonline.com/sports/hi...d4ac9e6c6.html Taken it a vacuum it appears there wasn't anything out of the ordinary as far as the officials were concerned. There was a rebound. B#14 and W#11 battled for it. A held ball was called (correctly, IMO). W#11 shoved B#14. The L gave a T to W#11...then all heck broke loose.

Sub varsity game:Very often there is only one coach and he left the other immature minors to run on the court... likely they will follow him - unfortunately.
So to "stir the pot" Do we really need the coach on the floor for a fight? I was at the NASO conference in STL this summer and during a presentation, an attorney said: Good officials Don't let athletes fight during their game"... He goes on to say: Don't think you won't be sued if a kid gets hurt during that fight and there's video footage of you standing there watching. His illustration was NBA officals: Arguably the best officials in our game. His question: Do you ever see NBA Officials backing away from a fight? Answer: Hell no! They are dealing with the strongest basketball players in the world and they stop the fight - always! |

This was a varsity game. I'd be interested to know which team the coach in the gray shirt and tie belonged too. He seemed to want to blame the lead official for what happened by standing there pointing at him and running his mouth as things were being restored to some semblance of order.

Close. You won't see Violet or Laura getting in there -- they have instructed not to.

Rule number one: NEVER put your hands on a player. If I can get between them before they start swinging I will, but once the punches start, no way. As Adam said, use your whistle and voice. And if I'm the away official I'm not going to go running into the fray, but will go near the table and instruct the scorer to write down the color/number of every player I see leave the bench and enter the court as I verbally recite them.

Notice the coach: pointing and seemingly blaming. Go ahead and say to the suit happy lawyer and parent: "not it'. I'm betting, "You're it" - like it or not! |

Not in this case (no pun intended.)

Had there been an injury and that video was submitted as evidence... That Lead has some explaining to do. |
