AAU Fisticuffs: Ref Throws Haymaker At Parent & It's On!

When was the last time you saw a ref swing on a parent at an AAU tournament? Social media experts say it happened over the weekend during a tournament at what appears to be the Indiana Pacers Grand Park basketball facility.

It was your run-of-the-mill this game is over situation where the team getting blown out decides they've had enough and they're leaving. Things seem to be heated but fine, until a man walks across the Pacers court with his phone presumably recording the ref when chaos erupts.

Ref goes to slap the phone out of yellow shirt guy's hands, fists fly, one of the AAU girls runs in to throw a right, and then it's a full-fledged WWE event.








And there you have it, the latest from the trashy world of AAU basketball. God bless those of you spending your weekends listening to trash individuals treating refs like trash, treating coaches like trash, trashing players, trashing fellow fans.

Remember, it was just 15 days ago when Ohio State football coach Ryan Day's son had his nose lit up by an AAU kid which then led to AAU kid's mom lighting up Day on Twitter.

It seems so pleasant out there. It really makes me want to spend thousands of dollars on sports for my kids so they experience this chaos.
