Over the weekend, an Ogle Mole sent me a Twitter clip of a basketball ref totally leveling someone who walked onto the court during a brouhaha at a youth basketball game at the Score indoor sports facility in far northwest OKC.
UPDATE: We've acquired a full video of the ruckus via The Ogle Mole Network. We can confirm the incident occurred on Saturday night and police were called.
Check it out:
We’ve acquired more video from the fight at The Score on Saturday night. It looks like a coach was the instigator, and a ref took a swing. The guy who was leveled by another ref was possibly trying to keep the peace. https://t.co/yZSwYjX17K pic.twitter.com/LifXQooY8C

Fun fact – Back when I was 18, and still had functioning ankles and knees, I took and passed the take-at-home test to become an OSSA-certified basketball ref. Sadly, I never reffed a game because A) I was making too much money as a Josta promotional model, and B) never enrolled in a self-defense class that all aspiring refs should take.
Anyway, we're going to try to hunt down police reports to see what happened, who did what, and if the guy who was totally leveled by the ref is okay.
Stay with The Lost Ogle. We'll keep you advised.
