I played basketball a few decades ago in MCPS. Is it a physical sport with contact? Yes. Did players ever fight? No.

In my day, a flagrant behavior violation like fighting would immediately get you kicked off the team. The worse experience I ever had wasn’t related to players on the court but spectators in the stand. There was a need for police to be on site, sometimes to escort the visiting team to their bus. After one game, we experienced gang threats.

After that video, shouldn’t there be at least one police officer on site for basketball games as a precaution?[/quote]

Exactly - played in late 80s/early 90s - our coach would have permanently kicked off anyone fighting on the court.   Immediately and end of story.  Doesn't matter how good the player was.  You're done.  You knew going into season you had certain behavior you had to demonstrate - and no excuses - you're gone....  these days you get to say "oh he bumped me hard" and administrators let it slide or give some b.s. 3 game suspension....[/quote]
