Young man said, "Me."

I said, "Good, now there's no need to talk about it anymore, right?"

They got the msg.
I've done this, too. It works well if you can do it early in the game. It lets them know you've got a problem with it, as well as how silly it sounds.

We had a JV double header where, during the girls game, the home boys were sitting on the front row stomping their feet. They were right next to the bench, and dressed, so I had to do a double take.

We simply had them move up into the bleachers to make it easier on us. I may have overstepped, but they complied without issue.
