JV game - Blowout last night.
The crowd was a good mix of Home and Visitors. We called a good clean game but - in my 2 years this crowd was relentless.
Asked the table at the quarter break and he said they (about 5 to 10 people - adults) were constant hecklers. Seemed louder than normal tonight however.
They really got under my partners skin. He was 1st year and a little slow. They were hostile, personal, insulting, profane, etc. all night.
Question: Is there any crowd control techniques to use?
Is "ignore them" the only way?
When is enough "sport" enough?
The comments quickly got outside the game - not commenting on calls and the play but just ref insulting all night.
Wow.
