Thread highjacking underway . . .

I think we've gone over the accuracy, validity, etc of the call enough. I would like to point out that in a High School basketball game:
- Coaches were allowed to come out onto floor and question officials.
- PLayers approaching and demonstratively arguing with officials and inciting crowd.
- While game is still going on crowd members cursing loudly enough to be heard and not being removed.
- PLayers, officials and parents chasing following officials off floor.
- Entire sections of your crowd full of parents, families and kids chanting curse words.
- The commentator blatantly accusing officials of repeatedly and intentionally impacting the result of the game.

If I'm an assigner or AD involved in this situation and I see this video. Beyond whatever feedback conversations you want to have with officials, at a school and league level there need to be adults facing suspensions from facility and games. And plans in place to not allow this to be normalized behaviour.

I can't agree more. If one coach got T'd, the other wouldn't have acted up. Irresponsible behavior must have consequences.
