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.

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!

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......

Not if she's hot.

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?

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.

Why not both?

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

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.
