Here's one I have not seen. 1st round D-1 high school playoff tourney I refereed last week. Visiting student fans brought cafeteria "lunch trays"....raised them in unison and knocked on them....tapped on them and scratched on them producing a series of different sounds. Pretty creative!
Game management observed the students...didn't feel they were being obnoxious....matter of fact, they were quite well behaved and having a great time!
My partner and I talked about it during a deadball situation...and in light of the fact that the home team didn't complain and the game management seemed to have the situation in control....we didn't feel it necessary to create a hub-bub by inforcing the rule technically.
