Going back to the OP:

High School Season and AAU/Summer ball are different animals, IMO.

I would never give the crowd a T. But tossing fans in the right situation should be no big deal, IF it is warranted.

In an AAU game, especially with a small aux. gym and people screaming when things are dead quiet and there is NO game management anywhere, we become defacto judge, jury, and executioner. Recently I had a guy going bonkers on me during a quiet moment(he'd been at it for a while). I summoned my best tough guy voice and stare and told him "Sir, this game will be going on with or without you". I thought he was going to faint. Later he came up and made small talk to make things better.(???) Can't make this stuff some sometimes.

My kids aren't old enough to play, but sometimes it seems like emotional parents lose control of themselves and need a reminder.
