If you were in a fight. Then it was broken up by someone. While you're walking away and you get hit with a rock in the face by someone jeering at you. What would you do?

Security wasn't what it should have been behind the bench. The second that someone in the crowd crosses the line and tries to throw anything at the players security should have been moving fast to remove them their seat and escort them out. That way if a player tries to get up into the stands after whoever threw something at them, security should already be between the player and the fan and they can escort the the player back to the court. That could diffuse the situation quickly and after a brief timeout the game could resume.
And in terms barbaric conduct associated with any sporting event, you forgot to mention soccer. I'm thinking of the hooligans who get out of hand at british soccer matches.
