I guess I'm missing something.....where were other players? In the locker room? No worries then. If they were on the floor near the fight, make your best judgement. Shouldn't be hard to find players, just look to see where they were.

Devil,

Nobody was in the locker room. Fracas occurred within 2 seconds of horn going off. Players and team members rushed to the fight. We had a lot of people on the floor AND empty benches.

What did they do as they were rushing and once they got to the fight?

Man this one is hairy. It would be really tough without a monitor. Would you do anything different in hindsight?

Yes. We would not have worried about the benches if we had realized that it was halftime and that all we hold sacred is no longer valid i.e. empty benches don't really mean a lot. Just focus on the fight and try to identify other fighters which we were able to do from our vantage points. But, we really didn't try to separate the chargers from the curious bystanders??? We didn't think it mattered.

I don't think it matters. That's why the rule is there, to reduce the need to make that distinction during a fight by keeping as many players on the bench as possible. If it's halftime, the players should still stay near their bench to avoid the issue.

Toss anyone who didn't stay at his bench or head straight for the locker room. Anyone who passes by the fight on the way to the LR needs to keep walking, anyone who detours to ensure he passes by the fight gets tossed.

I'm guessing you now have 4 on 4 game, and each coach has 2 indirect technical fouls. Suspending the game is an option here.

Not supported by the rules. Why would you do such? Just because you had multiple ejections? You wouldn't consider this an option after two ejections, or three, or four. Where is your cut-off?

Sorry, but barring a state rule, there is absolutely no reason to suspend an NFHS contest simply because the teams have each been reduced to fewer than five players.
