A brawl between South Alabama and Coastal Carolina in the women's Sun Belt Tournament in Pensacola, Florida on Wednesday left eight players ejected and knocked a referee to the floor where she required medical attention.
One player, Coastal Carolina's Tracey Hueston, was suspended for the rest of the 2026 postseason.
There were less than six minutes left in the fourth quarter when South Alabama's Cordasia Harris and Hueston began fighting under the basket. Harris appeared to bump Hueston slightly from behind before Hueston turned around and began pushing and swinging at Harris, who pushed back.
Video showed two referees, multiple teammates and staff members quickly working to separate the women and referee Marla Gearhar was knocked to the floor in the melee. Gearhar, who lay motionless on the floor, appeared to be hit in the head or neck area by Hueston as the referee was attempting to push her away from Harris.
Gearhar remained on the floor on her back while order was restored and multiple staff members and a medical professional ran onto the court to attend to her. A sheriff's deputy also came onto the court after the fight ended.
