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...
