Yes, the official should have stopped the play and had the fan moved, then shoot the throw.

Up above you said I overstepped my authority by having the cheerleaders stop in what I considered an unsportmanlike act. Why would this be any different. If the fan is not on the floor would that not be the same as the cheerleaders? Would we not be overstepping our authority?

If there are blechers behind the backboard and there are fans there, then that's fine.
But you don't allow a fan or anybody else to stand on the endline, under the basket and distract the shooter.
Also, I did state that this official was also wrong in his ruling, by posting what he should have done.
