You weren't working that game, so it might not have been your responsibility to say anything, but since you were working before, and game management knew you, maybe you could have gotten someone's ear. My hunch is that the Varsity crew did say something.
My feeling is that it isn't our job to police the stands, regardless of who is there. If GM doesn't take care of any issues when asked, then it becomes difficult. There are rules for assessing penalties to a team based on fan behaviour, but I sure do not want to go there.
I did see a Varsity official toss a kid who had just played the JV game, though. It was a similar situation what you described, only the kid addressed the official directly.
Here's how it went down. Foul call, official reports, points at the kid then the locker and says "OUT". GM escorts the kid out of the gym. I talked to the official afterwards to get the story. The kid made mention of how great a call was just made. BTW, this was about 2min into the game.
Not sure what would have happened if GM didn't get the kid out of there. He was sitting behind the team close to the scorers table.
