Comments to the crowd

The other night I witnessed two occasions where my partner spoke to the crowd during the game. One was after a foul call. A fan in the front row said, "Don't you guys see there are two colors out there?" My partner simply said, "no." Later in the evening my partner turned to the stands and told a different fan, "You need to shut up!"

As much as I would like to say something back to the fans at various points, I have always refrained. IMHO I think this just lets them know that they are getting our attention. How should I have handled this?
