All of a sudden over the PA we hear something like, "What the F&*$!!! Blow the G@$-D#$# play dead you F*$&*# idiots!!!! You're going to get my kid hurt!!!!!"
Kid scored. Parent-with-a-mike got to witness the rest of the game through binoculars from the not-very-close parking lot. |
That is priceless!
As for the OP...I have had GM escort a fan out once - in a HS Boys game where I had to warn the cheerleaders to stay off the court. Daddy of one of the cheerleaders decided to come onto court and quarter break to give me a piece of his mind. A simple gesture to GM guy and he had daddy by the arm and basically drug him out the door.
On the other hand, I was working a Women's JuCo game where my partner - a very well established and experienced official in the NW - tossed an entire section of the stands (about 30 people) and refused to let the game continue until they had left!
