I believe a T should be called when warranted by the rules and to manage a game when unsportsmanlike activity is occuring. As far as a fan is concerned, that is for school management. The official is to point it out if he feels it needs to be addressed. I have a problem if the official gets personal about it and allows fans to get under their skin where they get into a verbal confrontation. The official I originally started this thread about constantly gets into these confrontations and warns the fan that if he hears one more word he will put them out. In one occasion he actually stood there and waited to see if the person said antoher word. He was the R on this game but I did pull him aside at the half and let him know we need to focus more on the game. I didn't hear the whole conversation but as I recall he was reperting a foul and the fan was continuosly saying "call it both ways" and " we know you are a homer". Do I consider this grounds for removal of the fan? In this case no, but if he was being beligerant maybe.
