When it got to the point of getting his fellow fans involved my Pard started loosing it. Then Pard popped the coach.

First off Rex your Pard needs to attend a clinic on Game Control as things shouldn't have gone this far.

At the first sign of heckling, since your partner is a "rookie" you should have gone over to one of the coaches and tell him the situation. Either this fan cools it or he will be asked to leave. Chances are the caoch knows who it is.

If the coach can't calm this person down, then this person needs to be removed from the field before play continues. If you have to call the authorities and have them remove him.

Do not resume game until this matter is resolved. If the heckling involves more than one fan and you feel things could get really ugly, then simply suspend the game.

Call the assignor and tell him what happened.
