I was in a loud gym a few weeks ago.
I was lead and had just backed out after bouncing the ball to the free throw shooter.
The two girls on the end of the lane were jostling -- as much as you can while staying in the lane -- getting arms near each other, etc.
JUST AS the gym gets quiet, I LOUDLY say, "Knock it off." It was very audible.
I could hear quite a few people laughing in the stands. Even one of the coaches was smiling when I looked over towards the table.

PS - I called a lane violation on a 9-year-old last weekend. I don't usually work that young, but they were in desparate need of officials. I went from varsity boys to 9-year-olds in one night -- a definite paradigm shift.
