High school varsity game! seeded district game, rivalry,
packed house!
I thought of something that commentators often mention at a "packed house!", The sixth man is on the court!
As rules against fans prevent them from obscenities etc. in order to help ref's with game managment, it doesn't prevent them from becoming loud; extremely loud; or wave disconcerting objects (like balloons) behind the backboard during a free throw. It's part of the game!
Sounds like the coach was outmatched and hasn't learned to value hand signals over yelling instructions. But of course if we don't apply the rule well he doesn't have to learn anything except; we refs make exceptions to the rule "because of the ramifications??"
Lovely to have opportunity to share after thoughts and make a few gallow observations; thanks for the example I'll remember this one.
