I hate to rain on the parade, but does anyone from IN here know what the rest of the story is? I just wonder what the reason for the arrest was, unless yelling at an official is a criminal offense in Indiana.

Sorry, I work with a bunch of cops, and this story got us to talking.

In some states there is verbal assault or verbal abuse of an officer.

Does that apply when the officer is off duty and "unmarked?"

Hey - his badge number was on his whistle. It was "40".

not sure but they can always charge you with anything they want - making it stick is something else.

this guy should just be glad the officer wasn't packing heat - because he deserved to get riddled.

I wonder if his throw down would have chaffed his ankle when he ran?

Good one! But maybe now that his name's out there, coaches may live in fear of this officer/referee. Pat Knight would have been in cuffs after that tirade the other night.

I work with people that know the individual that got arrested and I believe I have worked with this official once.

Anyway the funny thing, if there can be a funny thing, This guy doesnt even have kids that go to that school anymore, they have all graduated and he still throws a fit....

Indiana High School Basketball, not surprising. We've all seen Hoosiers.
