But all this said, how much should officials put the earmuffs on the crowd? And what point does it become so large you need to eject a fan. I guess its kind of like a Technical or an ejection in baseball, each referee has their own breaking point. But what should we strive for that breaking point to be? Is it different from coaches to fans? Can a fan get away with a lot worse before he/she needs to be removed?
My experience aside, I want to learn from this from an official standpoint as well. When is enough enough from a fan?

What? I can't hear anything you are saying, you are a fan.
I choose not to hear anything that the fans say other than to get a laugh out of it. I have had a partner stop the game in transition as he ran by the students section once and eject a girl in the 2nd row for standing up and loudly saying "You s@#k." But personally I will not 'hear' what the fans say, if it gets bad enough,(cusring, threatening, etc..) I will go to game management at a break and have them remove the person responsible. But I wouldn't ever turn around and address the fans, let game management deal with it.
