Yummpin' jimminy, why be so hard on the yappy fan? That's the problem, there's not enough yappiness in the world. I think we should all try to be a little more yappy in our everyday life. (I wonder if the yam on my muffin has started to ferment a little...)
I had the same situation happen to me in a high school game. I had reported a foul, and I heard "That's f***in' terrible!" come from the bench. As I looked over, the head coach was shaking his head, smiling with that sarcastic look, and going to sit down. So I gave the T. He then got this "What did I do?" look on his face. The same one we've seen many times before. So as my partners are administering the free throws, I stay over by the table. He comes up to me rather calmly and tells me he didn't say anything, but it was the guy behind the bench. I haven't worked with this coach before, so I didn't know if he was serious or just yankin' my chain. I just tell him if that's the case, he needs to calm that fan down or it will cost his team directly again. I think if I would've known for sure it wasn't the coach, I might have gone with the inadvertant whistle. But in this case I only had the coach's word for it, and we all know how truthful they can be.
(Apologies to the honest ones out there.)
