Football Ref bites the turf- were there slurs besides alleged bad calls?

Asked by msh (4270points) September 8th, 2015 from iPhone

Friday football game on a high school field goes down. No, not the game, the referee. Two fellow high school players split the deed: one tackled the ref to the ground, the second helmet-dove him to make sure he ‘saw grass’.
Players are now off of the team and suspended out of school. Criminal charges are pending. Assult being the foremost.
Today, the Asst. Coach is out on a paid suspension for alleged instructions to the players on his team, for carrying out the jarring hits.
Players alleged that the ref had uttered slurs while determining two separate play penalties. The calls the ref officiated upon were believed to be incorrect by the players and the coaches immediately upon being penalized.
These penalties were later deemed as indeed, incorrectly called by this ref via shared media of the game.
No real word on any injuries suffered by the referee in the jarring hit.
What should happen now?
What do you think will actually happen?
