A referee was attacked and beaten on court at the end of a game by members of a Cincinnati girls basketball team during a tournament in Indiana on Sunday. Video shows the female referee being swarmed and sucker punched at the end of a blowout game that was called a few minutes early as tensions rose. Witnesses say the referee was kicked after falling on the court during the mob attack. No arrests have been made, but the incident is being investigated the Shelby County Sheriff's Office. The Indy Star reported there was one minor injury.
The attack occurred during the Next Level Classic in Fairland, Indiana, in a game between the Dynasty Sports Performance Heat from Owensboro, Kentucky and the Cincinnati Indians Elite.
WLWT-TV reported the coach of the opposing team, Bobby Ewing, said another coach threatened to shoot him in the parking lot (excerpt):
