After a big group of people consulted (PIAA director, officials, coaches, others) they ended up only tossing karate man, with some stern warnings, and a pair of Trinity FTs for the flagrant T.

WOW, I agree with BktBallRef tht "I would have done what the state officials in charge told me to do.", but I think I would have had to voice my opinion (rather loudly) about the bench personnel leaving the bench.

If the state tournament officials are in the discussion, and pulling rank (although they had better know the rules it they are going to do that) you certainly can not hold the game officials responsible for any missapplications as far as the fight goes.

JRut said it pretty clearly "I hope this never happens in one of my games." ~ ME TOO!
