Fight in NCAAW-D3 game

[ChuckS]

Just wondering how the crew did here - for the education of us all! (especially those of us who have never had to deal with a "brawl")

Nobody even looked at the benches.

30 seconds left in a 9 point game... there HAS to be situational awareness among the crew - without knowing what's happened in the first 39:30 we cannot assume, but if there wasn't any tension before this point, I'd be shocked.

The 'C' needs to be more proactive before things get out of control.

But the highlight for me is the horn after the one team has left the court!

Easier to count who's still in the game than who's ejected

This one is definitely on the C, I can see that the T is distracted by whatever is going on at the throw in spot, but the C should be watching this action and come in to clean it up. There were several T worthy shoves in there before the meylay. Can't see what the L is doing, but he could probably have helped in this too. And if you notice, the girl in white who is down on the block is the match on this fire. She runs up on one of the other girls and really gets things going. If the C could have come in and kept it from getting to that point the whole crisis is avoided.

The #1 cause of fights escalating is the benches coming onto the court. We cannot rely on HS and small college assistants doing their job and keeping their bench under control, which is why I pregame that two guys closest to the benches should head there immediately. At the D1 and NBA level, 1) the assistants are better and 2) they have replay. Not a luxury we have at the lower level.

We also do not know the media status of this game. Some D3 games have video they can review. If that is the case here, it is possible that they could have looked at a monitor to review the play for who is responsible. It is possible that the officials were not worried about certain things as they might be able to look at it and determine who is still in the game along with what they observed. I am not going to rip them too much without that nugget of fact.

Peace
