Free throw disconcertion

Steve, I might just do the same at a 5/6 grade game as well. It's really a different ball game, with different expectations, at that level. You asked, however, what we'd do in a jv level or above. Telling the cheer leaders to stop cheering during a free throw is inviting trouble, IMO, short of a directive from your assignor or state association.
Short of personally insulting cheers, I'm having a hard time coming up with a situation where I'm going to address the cheerleaders during a game. Okay, if they're in my way, that's another story.

I agree. I do JV and Varsity contest more than elementary and would never stop the cheerleaders there from cheering. However it seems getting called out by BBR and then to me what seems like contradicting interpetations of what fans you can and can not tell to stop.
