Mouthy Cheerleader

[BK]

Last night...1st quarter...I'm L and call a foul in the paint on a shot. Cheerleaders are within 5 feet of me on the baseline and as I'm heading out to report, I hear one of them say, "That was all ball!" I continued out, reported my foul and gave my parnter a tweet and a hold on a sec. I step back down to the baseline and address the girl that said it. I told her that I wasn't going to do any cheering and she was not going to do any officiating. This girl is bold!!! She looks me right in the eye and says, "OK, but THAT was all ball!"

I take the 80 foot walk to the other end of the court to get my administrator in charge...and request his presence on the other end. The fans are now in an uproar...it felt like they were laughing at me for not being able to handle a cheerleader...or for going to tattle on the cheerleader. The entire time, I'm thinking this is crap and what could I be doing differently. WAY too much focus on me for too long!!!

The admin got the sponsor to go have a chat with them, and we had no other problems the rest of the night.

I'm open to suggestions!
