If a team lacks the discipline it should have and runs onto the court, I call the T. But the fans? These are crazy, immature, sometimes drunk kids. I believe that the officials did use poor judgment in allowing someone who has no business in affecting the outcome of a game to end a season for a bunch of young men.
For those who consider what the officials did correct, consider that some really devious supporter could dress as a fan of the opposing team and attend the game. That way if his team is about to lose by 1, he can run onto the court and cause the opponents to receive a technical foul. That is absurd.
Fans who run onto the court should be ejected and fined, but they should not be made a part of the game, and they certainly should not determine a winner and a loser.
