Bomb threat
I had a JUCCO game tonight, and with 4:11 remaining in the first half, a foul occurs, and immediately after my partner reports it, a timeout request comes in, and the PA announcer informs everyone that we must evacuate the gym. So out the door everyone goes, to a parking lot filled with police cruisers. We were then escorted to the admissions building across the parking lot, where we sat for 2 and a half hours while the boys in blue swept the building. (We being everyone, players, coaches, fans, officials, and the building's event staff)
As it turns out, nothing was found, and the game was resumed from the POI, after we gave the teams 10 minutes to get warmed up again. Thank God the threat turned out to not be credible, but that was for sure a first for me.
Anyone else ever have anything like this happen mid game??
