It would be another story all together if two opposing players land one on top of another then we need someone in there to make sure THAT doesn't escalate. But as far as I am concerned, it was a business as usual play.

We don't need knee jerk reactions and caseplays and rule changes that address what the officials *should* do or have done. It's a 1 in a million chance and I am good leaving it at that. At the least maybe a caseplay for how a penalty should be adjudicated with player and fan interaction. but that's it.
So tell me exactly what the officials job is? The offensive players run into the crowd and are pounding their chest. The defensive player who just picked up a foul in a closely contested game, go flying into the crowd.

Maybe you can be like the C and go grab the ball, I'm sure you think that's #1 priority.

The safety of players of the crew and then players is #1 and #2 priority.

Yup, get the ball, and line the kids up to shoot FT's. We officiate the game. If it were 2 opposing players then we get in there. In this case there was no need for that. What do you do when a player goes to save a ball, flying OOB, and lands in the third row after he saves the ball?

I'm guessing you stop officiating and go help the player up

Someone has to while you are running around picking up every player off the court, or in the stands. From the video if there was anything that the officials could have done it would have been because they could see the future. But hey you would have this under control.
