I can speak for my state only. But there are guidelines for conduct by the schools and how they run the game. Of course they have say over what is done in their gym, but that does not override the decisions that are made by the official. If they do try to override an official's decision, that can easily forefit the game. If they violate the spirit of the rules, they can result in further action and action has been taken. Member schools of the IHSA agree to these rules and if they violate those rules, are subject to further action. That might include forfieting of more games or not being elgibile for post season games or losing summer practice rights. And at least the TASO admits that this action was not proper. This incident might cost this school as well as this official that were involved. If this had happen on a game I worked, I would not only be required to file a report with the state, and the school would have to answer to their actions. Same would be done if someone reported me from the school.

don't talk to fans, dont' talk to fans...
I agree, nothing good can come with confronting fans.
