Correct.

I agree, but what I'm saying is that I'd pass the instruction quietly to game management and let them handle it. If I start to let my emotions get the best of me by stopping the game, pointing at the fan so everyone can see me....then I'll end up like Carl Hess and I don't need that kind of publicity. And if you're thinking, "Well what if it's so bad that it absolutely has to be taken care of immediately," I would hope that game management would already be on top of it if it's that obvious. Of course in this case, I suppose if GM was reluctant to remove a well-known D1 coach and the officials had to do something because GM didn't do their job, that would be more understandable.

Incorrect. It's game managements responsibility to remove unruly fans, especially if it's at our instruction. If they fail to do this duty then I would fail to finish the game. I would then write a report and send it up the ladder. It's that simple. I will not go into the stands to actually do the removal, but I sure as hell would be the one responsible for WHY the fan is being removed.

There is only so much we can do and I sure as hell have 0 desire to want to work at a location that does not provide a safe and stable game environment for the officials.
