All hell broke loose at an AAU Tournament in Indiana recently.
During the tournament, play temporarily paused and an official stopped to make a ruling.
Suddenly, a parent came out and started recording the referee in question.
The referee didn’t take kindly to being recorded and slapped the phone away.
At that point – things got nuts.
The parent in question began fighting the ref, and a full-on melee broke loose.

At the moment it is unclear what the consequences of this brawl will be.
Earlier this year, a similarly violent incident occurred at a youth football game. That resulted in at least one person losing his job.
Will something similar happen here? Time will tell.
Just give LaMelo Rookie of the Year now. https://t.co/jyuEfUi2x4
