Had an incident last year during a Girls' C-Squad game where a fan/parent of the visiting team was very vocal about the play on the court. He was continually yelling at the floor officials that their calls were wrong. One of those times he did use some not-so-appropriate language after a foul was called on his daughter. After the reporting official notified the table of the foul, the official turned to the visiting coach & said either you remove that fan, or your team forfeits the game. Game Management was brought in, as well as local police, since they were onsite, to escort him out of the gym & ultimately off of school grounds.
The reasoning behind getting the police involved in this instance was that he did not want to listen to the officials or the coach to leave. Crowd Control asked him to leave, he was being uncooperative. A school administrator was brought in with the same response, so the police officer was brought in as no other method was working to keep the situation under control.
Come to find out after the fact that the guy had a bit of a rap sheet, & he was arrested due to having a warrant out against him.
