Robert Horry apology on Twitter: The passion I have for basketball goes beyond words..words got me tossed out my son’s game. Emotions are a part of sports & always will be whether you play or a fan, I’ve been both. Respect the game & all those involved, yes. Basketball unifies in many ways.

This past week I asked a site director to warn a similar father fan. I've got pretty thick skin and honestly can't remember the last time that I had to do such. But my guy was "over the top" and was easily singled out by being easily heard over the screams of dozens of cheerleaders. After being warned by an assistant principal, he shut up for the rest of the game.

I pointed at two fans last Thursday, than pointed to the game manager across the court. Both parties got my drift and things improved.

The sad part is, I’ve never had to do that before in 15 years. That’s how bad sportsmanship has become. No wonder no young people want to officiate these days.
