I'm Catholic (see my signature), but I wouldn't put priests an any kind of pedestal when they're in the gymnasium. They're just team supporters, like anybody else associated with the team. Our interpreter tells a story about giving a technical foul to a priest, who was acting as the the team chaplin, sitting on the St. Anselm (NCAA Division II, New Hampshire) bench, who was complaining about a call.

I've never given a technical foul to a priest, or nun, but I've come close during my Catholic high school, and middle school games.
