Like It Was Yesterday ...

Several years ago, I had a prep school fan step onto the court to complain about a call, he actually walked right up to me during a dead ball. No athletic director. No site director. I walked calmly over the home team head coach and told him that the fan had to be removed from the gymnasium. Assistant coach jumped off the bench and said that I couldn't do that. I asked him to sit down. Head coach says that there is no athletic director, or site director to remove the fan. Assistant coach jumps back up to complain, so he gets served a cup of tea. I tell the head coach that we're not playing until the fan was removed. I didn't threaten forfeit, I just said that we're waiting until the fan was removed. Finally, he walked over to the fan, and convinces him leave the gym. First, and only, time in thirty-five years. I can't guarantee that it won't happen again.
