Entire Student Section Thrown Out Of Game ...

[BillyMac]

I'm not sure that I would sound my whistle and give the "heave ho" signal to the entire student section. Certainly not a good look.

I would continue to strongly encourage the site director to clear the students himself, and if he fails to comply, I might threaten to hold up the game until he does so, possibly threatening that my partner and I would wait in the locker room until such occurs.

Another possibility (last resort), if I'm 100% sure it's the home students, I possibly might consider threatening the site director with charging technical fouls to the home team for each continuing unsporting comment if he doesn't comply with my request to remove the students.

In honesty, I'm not 100% exactly sure what I would do ("hadda" be there) but I would consider doing almost anything short of sounding my whistle and unilaterally "tossing" the entire student section.

But something certainly had to be done during that game that night, something over and above a simple report to my assigner and the state later that night.
