[just another ref]

Another question occurred to me: All this talk about ejecting the fan.
"one way ticket to the parking lot" etc.

What gives the official the power to do this?

2-8-1:

.....home management is responsible......

.....officials may call fouls on either team if its supporters act in such a way.......

.....officials shall stop the game until .......management resolves the situation....

Resolving the situation is in the eye of the beholder, is it not.

Picture this. A game is going on in, oh, let's say Las Vegas for example.
An irate fan throws a bottle on the court. Official stops the game, points out the offender. "I want that guy out of here."

The head game management guy (assisted by the crowd control guy) says,
"Not necessary. He took his meds. He's calm now. It won't happen again.
The situation is resolved. Let us proceed."

Then what happens?
