Now that former USC men's basketball coach Tim Floyd is out of a job, maybe he should think about becoming a bouncer. Or maybe he can negotiate peace treaties.
Check out this video of Floyd breaking up a recent fight at Morongo Casino in Cabazon.
Floyd does a great job getting right into the fight and restoring order while a bunch of other folks just stand around and stare. I wonder if he knows how close he was to getting walloped over the head by a chair?

Pretty sure the guy who has Floyd's back and saves him from getting "chaired" is Henry Bibby. Can anyone confirm?

I thought casinos were supposed to have heavy security and keep an eye on all things! Is that only in Vegas?

Henry Bibby looks nothing like that guy except for a shaved head and similar skin color. Bibby's got to be 20 years older than that dude. And what a bunch of high end folks at the casino! Pulling hair, brandishing folding chairs, jeering. Was Floyd doing scouting for a roller derby team?

"I thought casinos were supposed to have heavy security and keep an eye on all things!"
If this happened at a bar or casino floor near gaming tables, hordes of security would be on hand quick. But this appears to be taking place in a cafeteria, which makes it worse for the women, what kind of losers get in a fight in a cafeteria over burgers and cokes? The biggest kind.

You have to give him credit for doing the right thing. He could have been seriously hurt by just trying to make sure that the violence was stopped before anyone got seriously hurt.
If my wife, sister, or niece were in a similar situation (unprovoked fight), then I would hope that someone would step in to make sure that people wouldn't get hurt.

Jim Rome reported on Jim Rome is Burning that it was, in fact, Bibby.
