Lightbulb Officiating is officiating, is officiating.

Main thing, always keep your attention on the field or court. Your attention should only waiver if something from the stands is affecting the court. Mainly that being something that might affect a player or coach.

Actually, baskeball and football deal with these things in the same way. You can penalize the crowd, in turn penalizing the fans of a particular team. You can do this, but it is not a very popular or fair (my opinion) practice. You should just have the proper people removed or dealt with, but penalizing the team for the actions of someone that has no direct association is not the best way to handle it in my opinion.

Peace
