If I have any problems with fans or anyone (espcially fans) that get on my nerves I simply goto the table ask for security and point in the general vecinity... I say dont take any action now but just so you know incase it becomes more of a problem. If this doesnt shut them up I'll usually then ask for security wait and show them the general area that the fan is in. This usually takes care of the problem... NOW If he keeps going then the security guard who is now ready at moments notice will kindly show him the door.

The TWO occasions where I have talked to fans have been this season in a 7th grade girls toruny. Parent had something to say on just about every call. Finally there was an out of bounds play right in front of him... I asked him if he'd be interested in becoming an official because the assc. starts taking applications in august but there were some camps he could go to over the summer to get a head start. He shut up. (I dont think i sounded too sarcastic because he was right about one of the no- calls that I didnt call because no one lost or gained anything by it)And that was the end of it.

8th Grade Boys game...
Some kids sitting near the baseline in the stands said something to me that didnt need to be said. I simply just looked at them said do i need to go get the coach or ap? they shut up.... later on in the game... same sit... hey guys... do i need to grab that security guard or do yall just have the sudden ugency to hop on your bikes and go home? one friend looked at the other who looked like he had just crapped in his pants and said... hey man i'm ready to go home how bout you? I smiled and say thanks guys. And they just got up and left.

Other than that I try and enter and exit on the same side as the benches and get stay the crap away from fans.
