You make the call, part whatever

Agree.

And it looked like #9 Gold deliberately dropped the ball on #5 Red when she was down.

Disagree. Looks to me like the ball was knocked out of her hands. If I'm not sure about it, I'm not going to add the T.

Eject for the kick and the push and leave it at that.

So.....NFHS.....
- sub for #5 Red shoots 2 for the foul in the act of shooting
- no FT's for the double technical foul
-resume play at POI of the double technical foul, which is the Red sub for #5 shooting 2 FT's with the teams lined up on the lanes.

What bothered me most was the location of the hands of the ref when pulling gold 10 away from the fight.

I noticed that but I figured he was just trying to keep abreast of the situation.

Believe me, if it was in anyway inappropiate, she would have turned around and lit that ref up as pissed off as she was. I think his reaction was just to grab her and stop the brawl which meant grab anything. I think his reaction was slow but once he realized what was going on, he jumped right in there. Now if this was the men, I ain't grabbing nobody. I would step in between the person getting punch on the floor in an attempt to stop the aggressor and protect the player. If I don't get immediate help from the players, I'm out of there.

I agree, there really is no reason for gold to stand on top of her after she was punched a couple of times like that. It's like she was getting ready to deliver a couple of punches too. That was unsportsmanlike. Off official should have got that one. Now if the crew would have given the 2nd gold girl a T (not a flagrant) for her actions, I would have been extremely impressed with this crew. If they didn't access her a T at all, I would not be mad at them either.

So...let me see if I understand you. If you are a male official, it's OK to grab a female player on the breasts but it's not OK to grab a male player anywhere for any reason.

Where do you officiate - the Mustang Ranch?
