Years ago when I was 1st starting out I was assigned a youth league U15 semi-final with my father. I was around 17 years old at the time.

The game itself was hotly contested and came right down to the final buzzer but had no incidents until after we had gathered out bags a were leaving.

A Dad from the the losing team was heated and wanted a peice of us as we were leaving the gym. A father from the winning team intervied on our behalf saying "We did a fine job" and suggested to Dad #1 that he "leave us alone and let us on our way". Dad #1 did not like this very much and proceeded to shove Dad #2 with 2 hands right in the chest.

Never have I seen a body hit the floor so fast. As it turns out Dad #2 was a member of the city police's emergency response team (read SWAT) in plain clothes. Dad #1 was promptly cuffed and had a free ride to the local police station where, I'm told, he spent the rest of the day with charges pending.

Resulting from these events Dad #1 was banned from attending any of this league's games for 1 calendar year and was forced to write a little of apology to his kid's team, their opponents, the officials and Dad #2. I heard this was the only course of action that would of prevented the pending assult charge being dropped.
