Remember those things from the World Series in Anaheim? Well, I had them at my game tonight. One guy in the stands started banging them when the visitors were shooting FTs. In the last NCAA bulletin, it was made clear that these fall under the "artificial noisemaker" rule, like cowbells. But this is the first time I've ever had to deal with them personally. In my naivety, I simply went to the fan and said, "I'm sorry, but you're not allowed to use artificial noisemakers" and he stopped. Would anybody have handled this any differently? I could've gone to the AD (she was at the game), but that would've made a bigger deal of it. Just seeking out thoughts.

By the way, they really live up to their name!!

I think that you got away with one tonight Chuck. You must have been very polite and a real smooth talker to convince him to stop. Have you considered becoming an used car salesman.
