mbyron, I understand your point, and do not disagree with it, except to emphasize that I am NOT one who desires to give anything back to such an individual. I might have been like that in my younger days, but as I got older, I take the approach that it's just not worth it. I prefer not to waste my time or energy doing that. IF I even say anything, I try to do so in a rather subdued, subtle--perhaps mildy sarcastic--manner; but that's only in rare situations, like this one at the White Hen.

Believe me, I know full well about our society being a litigious one. It's also filled with nutjobs of whom we have no idea how they'd react.
Look, I'm not here to point fingers at you, scream and jump up & down that you are wrong (come on over to the basketball side to get that kind of a reaction out of me ) but I was surprised to see that someone who's been around a while as you obviously have (working ncaa games) would lower himself to interacting with a fan, and a fan away from the game venue no less. Fans, as you know, are lower on the totem pole than assistant coaches - I guess you baseball guys would call them first base coaches? .

As a reminder to the kids out there: this trick was performed by a professional on a closed track, do not attempt at home.

BTW, I've also been in situations where I know I am about to throw a huge handful of sh1t into the fan. Not fun, but that's why they pay us all that money...
