A brawl during the Sun Belt Conference women’s basketball tournament led to a referee being inadvertently knocked out by a player.
South Alabama’s 80-70 win over Coastal Carolina in the second round on Wednesday afternoon descended into chaos in the fourth quarter when players from both sides began exchanging words — and then fists.
South Alabama’s Cordasia Harris and Coastal Carolina’s Tracey Hueston briefly chirped at one another before the latter tried to shove and swing at the former.
One teammate of Harris grabbed her to restrain her before she could retaliate. Another South Alabama player, along with a ref, got between the two.
A second referee also ran into the fray when Hueston swung again and struck them, knocking the official to the floor.
The ref was motionless for a moment as a South Alabama staffer and another official guarded the area around the injured referee to ensure no further damage could be inflicted.
Staff members and medical personnel rushed to the court to check on the official.
**SNIP**
A double technical foul was handed out with Hueston and Harris ejected along with six other players who participated in the melee.

Well, women’s basketball has finally figured out how to get more viewers.
Ferals gonna feral.
I guess sportsmanship and self restraint are concepts too white to be taught...
Whatever else, Tracey Hueston might have a better career in boxing.
Don’t even bother checking, Boo Boo.
Getting knocked out by a lesbian....that’s embarrassing.
One of the women in the neighborhood plays in the Big East. I wouldn’t mess with her.
This is why Africa can’t have nice things either.
“Is it them again, Yogi?”
(of course it is) I didn’t even look.
Even the blonde one’s black?

If only women ran the world, then things would be so peaceful...
I have always thought the fight should play out till the end. I want to see missing teeth, torn ears, black eyes, and lots of bruising. They need to be so sore they won’t want to play the next game.
Like Carlin said, it should be 25 points if you score a basket by bouncing the ball off your opponent’s head. Then you’d get some really good fights.
To paraphrase Inigo Montoya: You keep using those words; I don't think they mean what you think they mean.
It was a female referee who got punched. She foolishly stepped right in between them and caught a wild swing. It didn't look intentional towards her.
You can see the video on the Fox news site.
