Working By Yourself

I showed this morning to call some rec games, and my partner never showed. Until a replacement could be called in, I worked two 12 yr old games by myself. Obviously, it can be difficult to work like that, but is there a best place to work from?
I started working basically trail the whole time, but the first game was getting physical with a lot of action underneath, so I started getting down to the baseline anytime I could. This meant I missed some action on turnovers, but I can only do so much!
And, of course, the first game into overtime. Figures right?

Also, in one of the games, there was a fan that just would not shut up. He wasn't swearing, but his comments got worse and worse as the game went along, and he started getting personal (You're an idiot, your pathetic, that kind of stuff). Would you have ejected him? I didn't pay him any attention, though I alerted the gym supervisor that I was considering tossing the guy I never got to that. If it was a coach, he would have been long gone - should I have the same criteria for fans?
