I believe it is because the "Law" as currently written only addresses assaults on an official by a person not involved in the sport, meaning it does not cover assault by a player/coach on an official.
Not true. It covers this situation... and it IS being followed up on as an assault.

ajmc has a good point -- when that attack happened at John Jay, they should've stopped the game and led those criminals off the field in cuffs.

The law is fine. And it supports us.

Exactly.

We wouldn't have played another snap in my game until those players were led off in front of God and everbody.
