I'm at a D1 game last year and this fan in the front row of the high dollar courtside padded chair seats with catered everything is standing, pointing, yelling, screaming and cursing this ref. He looks like he's just livid about a no call on some rough bumping down low.
During a break the ref goes over and talks to the guy. In about 20 seconds, the ref and this guy are laughing about something and the fan is seated and quiet the rest of the game.
I wish I knew what he said.

He told me to "zip it and sit down".
Seriously, I have on occassions exchanged comments with someone on the sidelines, particularly during warm-ups. You just have to be careful what is said. Sometimes a student/parent/fan will walk by and say something like...."Should be a good game tonight". I might just smile and nod or say "I agree". I see nothing wrong with this. If they tell me we suck, that's a different animal.
