Assault on an Official
 
At our local AAU complex we had an official assaulted by a parent/coach. Sucker punch and body slam has the official needing surgery. If I can get anything from the local press I will post it.

AAU -- Officiate at your own risk! :eek:

I hope this official ensures that criminal charges have been filed, and then files a civil suit that bankrupts the perpetrator.

I always tell everyone that if someone comes on the court (no one with either team) I am throwing punches first and then asking questions second. "My" court, enter at "your" own risk! :mad:

So, player A1 goes down hard after Inadvertent Contact and is laying on the court in obvious pain in what appears to be a gruesome injury. Mom, 5'1", 105 lbs, reacts instantly and runs out on the court to take care of "her baby" and is a bit emotional and angry as she approaches you. WHAM, you punch her out?!?!

While I understand your point, I think. Good luck with that......

To be fair, I do not think he is talking about someone come out to take care of their child. I think he means to come out and confront/attack or have a violent confrontation. And yes if Mom comes out there to do that, she might get punched out. ;)

Peace

Even the most confrontational among us would size up the situation before responding.

Nope. Technical foul.

Right, Nevada?:p

I think that would be 3 T's....

One for the illegal uniform and one for entering the court without being beckoned and one for not being in the book to record the first two T's. :eek:

I think GWR has given me a new method of operating. :D

Not exactly the situation I was picturing in my mind...but I am 6'3" 230...I could take her. :)

Agree....while I would do everything reasonable to avoid a physical confrontation and would not initiate it, if physically attacked I would not hesitate to act in self defense and take whatever action necessary to neutralize the threat.
