Idiot fans

[Forksref]

Last night: Varsity boys game. In the first minute I am running by the visiting bench and I hear some comments about something. Next time down at that end two fans seated right next to the player on the end of the bench (bleachers) are complaining about a 3-sec. call and I mean really screaming.

Not a very loud gym at this point. Next time down the same thing. Very loud and making it hard for anyone to enjoy the game. My partner blows his whistle and goes over and warns them to stop it or they are gone. I've never seen 2 guys as crazy as they were.

It seems like their MO was to disrupt the officials from the start. I asked the head coach if they were coaches and he shook his head. I told the two guys to vacate those seats and move up farther into the stands since they were sitting on the bench.

I think I had the right to T them up with the head coach getting the indirect T but I decided to move them. After they moved we never heard a word and the game was enjoyable for everyone.

The head coach should have addressed it before the game even started, unless he's used to the "support" from his fans.
