HELP what do I do?????
Omar,

That is a tough one...Maybe the governing body from you State
can come up with something. I was thinking maybe something
along the lines of like a Designated Media Area...But to have
him that close to the playing action does seem a little risky.
Unfortunate for him, but most of the player nowadays are super
quick. I don't think he could possibly remove himself from the
action quickly enough. Definiately a safety hazard. Maybe one of
the others on this Forum has an answer.

Welcome aboard. Your first post is a gem...
