Does anyone hear very much from the stands during a game? I rarely hear or can distinguish things yelled from the stands. And, unless there was vulgarity, who would care. They paid their $5 bucks, it is there prerogative to yell and cheer and support their team. I was embarrassed when I became a ref and realized how little I knew about the rules (and I had coached for 10 years!). How can we blow our gaskets (except for vulgarity or comments about my momma) when most comments are made out of ignorance. Ignore the ignorance (coaches included, although, a little side bar to answer coach's questions can go a long way...)
