As to the fans, different leagues have different procedures. Many allow the umpire to order an unruly fan to leave. In any event, there should be a tournament official present to deal with inappropriate fan behavior.

As you all have noted, umpires need training and experience to deal with these situations.

Thanks,

The better you are, the more training and experience you have, the less likely these situations will rear their ugly heads. Good umpires generally have good games.
