Coach, I can never imagine when there would be a good and proper time or reason to directly address fans.

Arguing with fans over calls even goes further away from anything productive.

As you read herein, referee's have learned from the behavior and I suggest your sample will too. Even if they know the person in the stands.

Like the neighbors dog, sometimes it bites.

Sure - its sometimes a great temptation when the loudest voice in the arena is emotionally challenging your calls - and even more attention grabbing when they are absolutly wrong about a rule. Happens every game.
