This almost sounds like a story we have floating in our parts. There is a gym here where the bleachers are very close to the sidelines and there is a group that traditionally sits on the front row. Their feet come very close to the sidelines. We had a rookie official try to get those people to move. The game manager almost kicked out this official. And to this day, that official cannot show his face in that school. I had a chat with the game manager just a couple weeks ago and he talks about this incedent as if it were yesterday. It was three years ago.
So, in the shoot around situation, this is a game management situation and you don't want to push it too far, especially if it is a tradition.
