Tonight during a varsity girls game the visitors bench would begin to cheer in unison, DEFENSE & then clap, clap. At the first dead ball I asked the coach to have them knock it off. She asked for a rule citation and I gave her bench personel are free to rise and spontaneusly cheer a play. I told her her teams cheer was not spontaneous, rule 10-4. My partner and I talked about it and both agreed. They are either players or cheerleaders. How are you handling this situation?
Absolutely no rule against it. And cheering for your own team can hardly be deemed unsporting.

You were way off-base on this one.
