Back in the Saddle-

You are completely right about the official not paying attention on his court because after the game he said to me he missed a call because of him telling me to assess the "T" while his game was on. In retrospect it sounds like he really got offended or was looking for an axe to grind becuase he was telling me this during a live ball on his court...

If the guy was really out of line, that official should have stopped his game and had game management escort the guy out of the facility. Other than that, he's just a spectator for that game and can't otherwise be penalized in another game.
