I have seen similar problems, only with them standing too close to the sideline in front of the bleachers opposite table side.
Last season I had one game where they were really close to the sideline and we'd asked them to move back. In the 3rd quarter I was transitioning to cover a fast break that was close to the sideline. I was in a full out sprint straight down the sideline, looking back over my shoulder when one of them stepped a little too close & I didn't see her. Fortunately it was more of a glancing contact than a direct collision, but it still knocked her flat on her butt. She was shaken up but not really hurt. We then had the AD make them sit.
Now when I see cheerleaders at the game, I tell game management that for safety reasons they're not allowed within 3 feet of any court boundary line when the ball is live - period.
