We as HS BB Oficials have all been in that exact situation. One should always ignore the crowd ( they know even less about the rules then the coaches). If there is one individual in the crowd who can be singled out, then the site administrator should be notified, and the malcontent should be removed. In CT we have Police Officers in every gym. I have on more than one occassion asked them to remove people from the gym ( mostly students, however, I have had parents removed too ). I have enough freinds in my personal life I don't need any more. I'm here to do a job to the best of my ability. I need my partner(s) to have my back, and that's it.

This guy got what he deserved because he didn't keep his head.

Earlier in the thread some said it all:

Don't interact with the crowd. This is HS BB, not the Harlem Globetrotters.
