Say what?

The table personnel are officials designated by the referee per RULE.

Cheerleaders are supporters of their team. They fall under 2-8-1. They ARE NOT part of the officiating crew and they ARE NOT subject to the same rules as the table officials.

Once again, this is no different than a fan making such a comment. There is NO distinction between cheerleaders and fans in the NFHS Basketball Rule Book.

I have no problem with speaking indiscreetly to game management about a true "problem" during a game. But going to game management because some 16 y/o girl yelled "That's all ball!" at me does not qualify as a problem.

I'm thankful I've moved past that stage. I'm sure BK has to. We can all get pissed from time to time on the floor but we learn a lesson from it if we're smart.
