I don’t honestly know whether they instigated it… but sure sounds like they at least escalated it!
A NJ judge granted a temporary restraining order in Knox's behalf. He will wrestle this weekend at regionals, and will compete at states unless a court makes a full judgment against Knox before then. (Yeah, right, the courts will take that up before states.)
Interestingly, Knox's HS was listed as a defendant -- so the restraining order prohibits them from suspending Knox.
Anthony Knox reinstated to wrestle in NJ State Tournament
St. John Vianney senior Anthony Knox is back in the NJSIAA Region 7 Tournament after a judge ruled in his favor.shoresportsinsider.com
I don't know rules and processes that the NJSIAA uses the way that I know the rules and processes that the PIAA uses. That said, I have a tough time comprehending the ruling by Judge Bartels. The NJSIAA has pretty clear rules for athletes that leave the bench during a fracas, and Knox definitely did that (it's pretty clear on video).
It appears that the NJSIAA has appealed Judge Bartels's ruling.
NJSIAA requests ‘stay,’ says Judge didn’t understand rules in controversial wrestling decision
The NJSIAA filed a request for a stay of the ruling hours after Knox was allowed to wrestle.

The ruling was that there is no team bench per se at a tournament. When Knox was done competing, he was sitting in the stands with his family.I don't know rules and processes that the NJSIAA uses the way that I know the rules and processes that the PIAA uses.

It's a stupid ruling -- so it's OK to run across the gym to join a fight just because you weren't on a precise team bench?
As you read more of the judgment -- not the entire document, only so much you can take -- it becomes easier to understand. Knox's attorney found a sympathetic judge with the spine of a jellyfish. The next few pages, describing how the events unfolded, read like it were written by Knox's attorney. And the line about Knox suffering more material harm than NJSIAA, is a steaming pile of BS.
I hope the first guy out at Districts, the first guy out at Regionals, and every wrestler at Regionals who faced Knox all join the NJSIAA appeal. Those guys can rightly say that the ruling materially harmed them more than Knox, as they did nothing wrong but were denied a shot at States or had their shot imperiled by the judge.
Knox Sr clearly instigated the fight. Whatever taunts were made by the opposing fans, nothing physical happened until he crossed the gym and went up the stands to confront them.
They're all lucky nothing more serious happened. Nobody pulled a weapon. Nobody hit them from behind. Etc. It could've been a lot worse.
That's pretty rich. Not just for what happened -- but also because Mike Grey had read Knox the riot act about the fight.
"March Madness" is the time of the year when every non-PSU wrestling fan starts to intensify their hate towards Penn State wrestling for winning too much.
hmm, what would you ask if you knew the entire session would only last 10 minutes?
Seems to me that CS put the appropriate structure in place long before NIL and the portal. That said, he's not been reluctant to use both to supplement/continue what he established.
@Tom McAndrew I have given your post a lot of thought. If I was going to choose anyone it would be any one of the Sports IIIustrated Swim Suit Models for several reasons.
1) If I am tasked to help repopulate the world...
2) After a while, I am going to get horny...
3) See 1 & 2 above.
SI has recently had some models that, well, if that helps you with #2, I'm not judging.
