I am sorry, but you sound really silly. For one college basketball at this level is nothing like HS basketball or even small college.

For one that is all I need is a lawsuit for grabbing someone that gets punched or contacted in some way or have that happen to me. These officials in many cases are getting paid thousands of dollars to work those games. If they want to go into the stands and grab players, go right ahead, but most know better. And in this situation that happen this weekend, I did not see a single official going to get Smart or any of the players. The officials stayed on the floor as they should have.

Now you can go right ahead, but there have been lawsuits based on what officials did to brake up fights. And then you go into a fight where the many people could be throwing thngs are going. Even in the Malice in the Palace, I did not see the officials leave the floor to get players out of the stands. Stop it already with that nonsense.

Peace

If you listen to the clip, the announcer says there were no ejections and the only T given was for leaving the bench. Maybe Shaw knows what he is talking about.

This.

In any sport I work, in any level, there is no way I'm going into the stands. That is the domain of game administration and the fans.

Going into the stands is akin to a stray bird landing in the hyena pen at the zoo just before feeding time. No need to paint that target on your back because there isn't a thing you can really do to protect that player.

I don't even like sitting in the stands watching the first half of the JV game before heading off to the dressing room.

In the first half of the JV game my crew and I were sitting in the stands. We were talking about things involving officiating, whether it was about previous games or about the officials in the game going on at the time, and I saw that a guy sitting behind us was listening. So he knew we were the officials for the varsity game. I wanted to get out of there. Not because I thought he'd do something bad, but I didn't want him to start asking all sorts of questions about what we do, or about calls/non-calls being made.

Sometimes we do, sometimes we don't. If we time things well, they're starting the third quarter when we walk in.

Fair enough point in your first paragraph. I just don't agree. There was opportunity when Smart hit the cameraman to have a presence close to him.

Comparing the Malice in the Palace to the OK State/Texas Tech game is ridiculous. Those were players going into the stands to fight. I already said the crews safety is paramount followed by the players. So of course, that's not our place. Smart didn't go into the stands to fight.

I am not grabbing any player. Because if I grab a player and they turn around and hit the person they think did something to them. Then what?

What the hell would have happened if someone hit Smart, spit on Smart or threw something at Smart? He just did not have as willing a person and had teammates that were trying to not escalate the issue. But if the right group of people were involved, he might have started a bigger incident. Just look at the Texas-OSU situation where a teammate not involved in thrown a punch in the 2002 situation. So you say he did not go to fight, but he put his hands on a person in those stands. If that is trying to fight, not sure what he was doing?

Peace
