Player and Referee Brawl

[ilyazhito]

"Athletic events are an extension of the classroom", IMO, is only valid for athletic events that are legitimately education-based, such as a middle school, high school, or college game played with student-athletes, teacher-coaches (at least through the high school level, inclusive), and adequate security and supervision for participants.

My MO in any non-scholastic game without adequate supervision is to stop the game if there are any inflammatory situations, resolve them, if possible, and then get out of Dodge if the $#&* hits the fan.
