I did the same thing. Games take on what you let go.

Man, if I can't stop the fight or separate players then I'm walking off the floor. It's the police's problem once people start coming on the court. Someone can come get me if they want to keep playing, lol.

Walk off the court, but stay within sight of the court so you can take jersey colors/numbers for reporting purposes.

Take care of your safety first. I'm not sure I'd stick around in that melee. Especially with pepper spray getting deployed.

You have to consider the possibility of a fan coming up and sucker punching you because they aren't happy with your officiating.

In such a melee, trying to identify who did what would be virtually impossible. End it, and let the authorities review whatever video is available.

Without a doubt. Safety first.

Way too much talking being allowed in the game, you have to snip it from the start so there is a sense of law and order otherwise it will get worse. As soon as the fight breaks out I am out also. I am going to ref room with my partners and we are waiting for official word from the AD if we are playing or done. I am not going to stand there and wait for a parent or player to assault me
