Not cheer?! I'm not a parent but I still had my coach's blazer on and I'd yell out advice to my team if I had any. You can't ask officials' assistants to appear non-partisan. I complained about calls too. (The ref ignored my yell about his making the ball ready for a kickoff from the 50 instead of the 40.) The only thing I refrained from was stealing the visiting coach's signals. And I didn't
intentionally get the stick in the way of incoming subs, just accidentally once.
