From that video, it looks like the Chinese really were the aggressors... and possibly planned the attack. Two players from each side were going after a loose ball... and within a second, before anything egregious happened, half of the Chinese bench was emptying. Around the 23 second mark of the video, one Georgetown kid is on the floor, with 3 Chinese standing over him, and one throwing a dozen punches while he was on the ground. In the 10-15 seconds after that, I see at least 2-3 chairs getting thrown by Chinese players. The crowd was also very uncharacteristically Chinese, and were throwing things onto the floor as the players were being corralled and led away by the Georgetown staff.

The Chinese players' initial behavior did not seem spontaneous to me at all. I think they might have been looking for an excuse.

look at the start.. the Hoya throws the first punch... but misses.

I read about an British Dart team who went to Chhina to play a tournament. The brits were cleaning the chinese clock when it became evident that the chinese were restive and upset. The Brits purposefully tied the game and actually at one point carried the chines dart to the bullseye. The chinese did not care how the game was tied but that the brits backed down and Chinese face was not lost.

I would never send any sports team to china. They dont know how to play team sports and they do not understand losing.
