Yeah, I guess it only makes sense to Jeff.....and the people who wrote NFHS rule 2-8-1 and NFHS case book play 2.8.1......and the officials who follow the direction of the rules and case book. Silly monkeys.
Sample verbiage out of 2.8.1....
-
"Thus, while officials do have the authority to penalize a team whose spectators interfere with the proper conduct of the game, this must be used with extreme caution and discretion. While the authority is there, the official must rarely use it, because experience has shown that calling hasty technical fouls on the crowd rarely solves the problem....."

This may require the removal of a team follower(s). This can be done without charging the supporters' team with a technical foul. The advised procedure is for the official to to notify game management as to which follower(s) must be removed from the site."
-
If the official has positive knowledge as to which supporter(s) threw the items , the official should instruct game management to have the supporter(s) removed from the site. As in the previous case, this can be done without charging the supporter(s) team with a technical foul,"
It kinda seems that Jeff's philosophy is pretty close to the NFHS philosophy. Of course, Jeff probably only has access to the rule and case books printed by the FED. Maybe you could send him a copy of the
The Junior Rules(tm).
Jeff said
"Just get rid of the perpetrators and move on." Good advice imo.
