It was in Munich, Germany 1972 and the VP of FIBA was a Yugoslavian - and therefor closely aligned with the USSR.

However, the situation was handled properly. We Americans don't like it, but the situation was handled as it should have been. There was a story about it in REFEREE magazine a year or so ago.

YOU HAVE TO BE KIDDING!!!
You seriously support a spectator coming down from the stands and instructing the officials on what to do???? Anybody ever does that to me during a game and it will be the last time that I referee for that organisation.
When we start allowing people from the stands (regardless of their perceived authority) to make decisions about how to officiate a game - you might as well stop the game on every perceived foul/violation and have a committe review video and make a call.
