We're not talking about school games here. AAU/summer ball is typically worked differently. You don't get a dressing room, so you show up ready to go. I typically put on my stripes and change shoes at the table.
During the school season, you have game admin who, for part of their job, ensure fans don't disrupt you in any way. They are experienced at it (typically) and accountable to the conference and/or state if they fail. One reason to be even more cautious in AAU is that the game managers are either less experienced or less accountable (or both).
