IF the OP made the comment in the way he actually stated during the game, it is on the official to stay professional and not engage fans. Just because someone makes a comment or asks a question does not mean that an official needs to pay attention to it. I would hardly call the initial comment as a nuisance.
Even in the AAU setting, just how are you going to eject someone without the backing of the gym supervisor. It is rare that these individuals will eject unless vulgar or confrontational in nature.

I think you've missed the point entirely... your first comment is EXACTLY right... if the OP really did just make a comment, the official's not going to hear it. Nor the 2nd or the 3rd. Heck, often we can barely hear the coaches, much less an individual voice in the crowd... If "some fan" has somehow gotten on the official's radar, then clearly he's done far more than just making a comment.
