Must be one of them great big video cameras on wheels. Sounds dangerous.

Saw an incident on the news the other day where the cameras were "rolling" as two scorekeeprs got into fisticuffs. Couldn't tell what started it, but the one threw water on the other, who prompltly stood and smacked the first one right in the head! Sheesh!

While I am in the demographic that understands this reference, nope! Just two frustrated, middle-aged gentlemen at a HS game.

My old high school coach would've put boxing gloves on 'em and told them to let him know when they were friends.

That brought back memories. I went to a small rural HS in SE IL. Some of the most memorable PE classes was when there had been a scuffle somewhere in school earlier in the day. In PE Coach Reese would bring out a set of old leather boxing gloves and require the guys to fight. The fight would last until someone drew blood, or refused to get up after a knock down.

I agree with Bob, I am long gone too. I tell my partner if it isn't tied when the horn goes off you have tree choices, Lead, Follow or get the #@ll out of the way!!!!!~

I agree with Bob, but I'm sure that someone will come along shortly and state that he wouldn't see anything because he would already be in the locker room.

I'll state that 99% of the time, I am in the locker room before the coaches could have a chance to fight after the game. I'm not sure what you are getting at.

I'm "getting at" those officials who use the final horn sounding as an excuse to ignore any unsporting conduct which happens after that moment and run away and hide. There is a faction of folks who believe that there job is over once that horn sounds.
