Lets talk rules, should that crew immediately suspend that came and offending team forfeits?

I would think so!

ART. 6 . . . The referee has authority to rule promptly, and in the spirit of good
sportsmanship, on any situation not specifically covered in the rules. The ref -
eree’s decisions are final in all matters pertaining to the game.



ART. 10 . . . The referee’s decision to forfeit a game is final.


Also NFHS should edit the casebook to include this type of situation and say the officials can declare a forfeit for any physical attack on an official.

What do NFHS rules or the NFHS itself have to do with this?

I am aware that texas uses NCAA rules, just saying that other states should make sure this is handled.
