I had an interesting twist on this last year. Working a Frosh/JV double header, I was greeted at the gym entrance by somebody from the host school who I understood to be game management. He showed me to my locker room and brought us water.
During the freshman game, he is sitting in the stands opposite the bench and is yelling at us about a call I made. I flat out told him I didn't want to hear from him and then told him he didn't want to cost his team (which I've since learned was not the correct way to handle it). He informs me he is just a fan, we have a disagreement and I decide to let it drop in lieu of a report to my chapter.
As it turns out, he was the varsity coach, game management was somewhere else the entire time. That was essentially a no win situation. Then my partner goes into the lockerroom and kisses his behind after the game, making me look like the guy with a chip on my shoulder.
