I vaugely remember this one, and I think you have it slightly misstated -- both head coaches were trying to stop the fight, if I recall. I don't know about the assistant coaches and trainers ... About the John Newberry waterbottle incident: If I recall, after being squirted, the North Dakota player jumped into the Wisconsin bench to go after Newberry (among others). Not a really smart move... --david
