Laws protecting Officials

[RickyD]

I agree with the above responses. Keep a cell phone handy and notify the authorities. However, I must confess that my last adult rec league outting, some 5 years ago, the team and players who were totally out of line where a team made up of local city and county law enforcement officiers. I ended the game with 4 minutes remaining after a fight, which they started, several ejections and then threats against my safety on the way out of the gym. One of the players/officiers actually gave me the cut throat sign as I drove away (slowly pulling finger across throat). I simply left without further confrontation. In this case, you reallly have a problem. Calling in the authorities will be calling more of their buddies. Who they going to believe, you or them.
