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

Serious question: Do you have any idea what you're talking about or just saying whatever comes to mind?

There is infinitely more that can go wrong in most situations if you get involved than if you just watch. You can claim random events about people having to go to court to defend themselves because they only observed. This just isn't true. You can't compare NBA events to HS events when money amounts change litigation procedures.

If a player gets injured at the HS level they will be going after the assaulter or the school. Why would they ever care to waste there time going after an official? Especially since I'm hoping most officials pick up there phone and then are done.

Telling officials to observe instead of break up fights is substantially better advice at the high school level.

I've tried to parse these sentences 5-6 times and have no idea what you're trying to say.

It honestly seemed pretty clear to me. Whether you agree with his statements or not, I'm not sure which part is unclear.

Paraphrased:
If a player in a high school game is injured in a fight and his parents decide to sue, they're going to go after the school or the person who actually assaulted the kid. there's no point in wasting time going after the official, especially when most of them will simply need to make a phone call to NASO or their state association for legal representation.

Thanks for translating that into English. The logic is still horrible, but at least I now understand what he was trying to say.

I actually agree with the logic, although it doesn't make one immune to the possibility of a lawsuit

Having means (i.e. NASO insurance) makes you more likely to be named in a lawsuit, not less. Plaintiffs and their lawyers go after cash - from anyone that MIGHT be liable. They don't care if you, State Farm, NASO, or someone else has to pay. Whether or not the litigation impacts your life is another matter altogether.

Perhaps, but having that representation makes it more likely that such a suit will get thrown out early on due to the legal expertise.

And your final sentence is my point.

Yes, putting someone's name on a lawsuit is not too big deal, particularly if the kid is injured bad enough...

Why are the girls in this video even allowed on the court with those illegal headbands??

This is what happens when officials chose to ignore rules. The players think that if they can get away with headbands with extensions, then they can get away with anything, including a rock 'em sock 'em fight. Allowing headbands with extensions is a lawsuit waiting to happen.

Location: A packed courtroom on a hot and humid afternoon. Ceiling fans circle overhead, squeaking as they turn, but the courtroom is still uncomfortably hot.
Attorney (approaching the judge): Your honor, I would like to submit this headband with extensions as exhibit A.
Attorney (turning to the defendant) : Sir, did you observe that the players were wearing headbands with extensions as they were warming up for the game?
Official (a bead of sweat dripping down his cheek): I'm taking the fifth amendment and refuse to answer on the ground it may tend to incriminate me.

And ... scene.

Maybe because this game was played when the headband rule was different?
