Of all the unusual things that I have seen the last few years that I have been officiating. Today beats all. After a close 6 point loss, as we were waiting for someone with a key to get to the coaches office, the manager comes barreling out of the team locker room. "There's a fight in there" That poor coach.

Tim - I hope you just got the hell out of there and did not get involved. From your post, it sounds like you didn't take any action.

Our authority ends when the score is approved and we have left the court area. Of course, in some states, you are still protected as a sports official under the law from assault until you leave the property.

No action taken. Like I said, it was the coach who had to deal with it.

We had our share of fun on the court with the game. No drastic actions were taken. Just getting between players pushing and then there was the tattle taling of the players about what the other player told him under his breath. Let's just say I am not excited about visiting that gym in the near future.
