Andy,
I don't know what I would do if that crap happened around here. I cannot imagine being associated with such nonsense.

If you have to deal with that stuff in Arizona on a regular basis, I am convinced you love the game more than I.

In fifteen years of officiating, each of these situations has happened to me personally one time each. Fortunately, it is not a regular occurance.

Sleeper asked for advice on dealing with crowd issues, I gave him some from my vast (some would say half-vast) experience.
