unbelievable

Just came back from our association's meeting where one of the topics was how to handle fights or near fights and what to do when you see unsporting behavior.

The situation happened in a BV game a 2-3 weeks ago in the NO VA area with a 3-man crew. We can not see the hard foul (on video clip) that started but we see one V official table side (T) at the beginning of the visitors bench when something happened. He then moves toward whatever was happening and the hole Visitors's bench follows them. All officials had brain farts and no one was ejected because no one knew with any certainty who came off the bench. The point was to instruct other officials what and how to handle this so that was good but I stated it was unconsciousable for no one to get ejected.

Also during the game, the referee passed on a player taunting another and should have called a flagrant foul on a play but only an intentional (defensive player fouled hard first and then pushed the offensive player who went careeming into the wall bounced off and lay there. When he asked the group who would have called intentional about 75% went with that, 8-10% (including me) with flagrant and the rest with no opinion.
