The second sentence states that this man was sitting in the stands with those who got into a disagreement.
The third sentence states that Shambley's father was officiating the game!

I'm rather confused.

The person who started the altercation in the stands is the official's son. He was standing over Shambley's father (Odom Jr). Odom III (Shambley's half-brother) was also in attendance and escorted Shambley out after the altercation.

So the official's son was in the stands and confronted the two guys who were making comments about his father and these two guys just happened to be sitting next to the father of one of the kids on the bench. The team member on the bench thought that the official's son was confronting his father and he might hurt him, so he went up there. Have I got all that correct? If so, that is much clearer than the author of the article made it.

You got it now!!! Must be a regional thing that I was able to understand it clearly from the beginning.

I had almost this EXACT scenario about 2 months ago.

Bad situation . . . Could've been worse!

There were some really good responses.
