inciting the crowd

[sdoebler]

I had a similar situation on Tuesday after the crowd was saying some stupid things to a kid. He made a 3 motioned to the crowd and said something. At the next dead ball I said here is a good piece of advice I got from a mentor:

"Don't take criticism from anyone you wouldn't take advice from"

Would you let the crowd tell you how to play basketball? Then don't listen to their crap and let me take care of them. He thanked me and we had no issues.

Game management stood next to a few bad apples and there were no more comments of that nature.
