Here's my .02 worth. Bart, cheerleaders I would classify as bench personnel. In most of my games they are positioned on the endline. I've almost got kicked in the head a few times, stepped on them several times, and given a loud whistle in their ears alot of times! If a kid on the bench says "that was all ball!" I think most of us would choose to ignore this. I have only talked to the cheerleaders "officially" one time. That whas when they were doing a cheer when the opponant had the ball at his disposable for a free throw on the end where they were cheering.
BK if you didn't want to hear any differing opinions, you shouldn't have posted. No one likes to get negative comments, but you probably should have bitten down on your fox 40 and ignored this comment. A loud blast later in their direction wouldn't be out of line. I kind of compare what you did with what happened at the last game I was a spectator at. A travel was called on a girl in the B squad game. She turned toward where she had to go back on defense and without looking bounced the ball backwards. I didn't think it was particularly hard its just that the endline in that gym was about 100' deep and someone had to go chase down the ball. The player got to her end and took a defensive position. The official chased the girl down and talked to her. I didn't look very professional.
Like someone said, any chance you can not to draw attention on yourself is good advice.
