Two years ago, intramural league- two big guys chest bump down low after a hard foul, L steps in, grabs one of the players arms, and receives a swift left hook.

Luckily, private schools aren't courts of law, and the player ended up getting in a good bit of trouble. Either way, you won't see me touching any of the players.
