re: Full video of Texas Southern/Southern U Women's Basketball Brawl

I am glad the SWAC actually came down pretty hard on both schools but I think a couple of the TSU instigators should have gotten more punishment.

The best part was the band cranking up and the mascot gettin it on right after the fight at the end of the video.

2) The woman ref should be fired. She backed away from the initial scrum, then stood and watched as a TSU girl from the bench ran the length of the floor to enter the fight. Actually got out of her way.

She's a referee, not a security guard. She has no business trying to stop 10-20 girls from fighting.

You are wrong. Refs are in charge of the game and it's their job to prevent a much of this as possible. I understand that sometimes the refs can't control everything, but the woman ref didn't even try. When the initial scrum started, she backed away from it while the two men refs ran in to break it up. Then she pretended to be holding back SU's bench, but she wasn't do anything aggressively at all. Worst of all, she saw a player from TSU charging from the far bench, and after initials putting her hands up to motion, "stay back", the woman ref literally stepped out of the way and watched the TSU girl run into the fight. The ref MOVED OUT OF THE GIRL's WAY.

That ref showed she can't perform her job as a game manager. The other two refs did everything they could to break up the fight. I have no problem with the other two.
