This is not a case of someone yelling from the stands, or even making a threat during or after the game. The guy went down to the officials locker room looking for trouble and then proceeded to attack one of the officials!
I am a basketball official for high school and lower-level college and I have seen my share of idiots like this. Fortunately I have never had anyone attack me (although I have several times had threats made i.e. "See you in the parking lot").
This has to come to an end... It's totally absurd what officials put up with on a regular basis. Without the support of the school or the state governing association, you are going to see a lot of officials walk.
Please contact the IHSAA and tell them to ban this guy!!! He has no place in high school sports. It's for the kids not him!
1. There are no longer any consequences for stupid actions,
2. Over-population breeds violence, and
3. Societal boredom and complacency magnifies normally insignificant incidents into serious crises.
