Stopped the Game

[Jfpdi]

Had situation on Saturday. About 3 Mins remaining in a CYO game my partner blows the whistle and tells me we have a problem at the other end of the court. The roof started to leak and was dripping water near the lane line by the low block. He wanted to know what we should do. I told him that we would have to stop the game because a kid could get hurt. We informed the coaches that the game had to be stopped. The home coach who was leading 24 to 4 wanted to finish the game. I informed him that he could be liable but that my partner and I would not remain on the court as now that we were aware of a dangerous situation we would not continue the game unless it could be corrected. I am sure he had the kids best interests at heart. (Not!) The parish coordinator finally arrived at the gym, we explained the situation to her and she agreed that the game was over.
