My two cents dev - avoid these interactions with the crowd. This gives you the appearance of playing to the crowd (especially the second incident). It may seem all in fun, but you are not there to entertain.

We had some real crowd problems with one team at our last tournament, a fan ended up getting ejected, the supervisor of the officials' org was in another gym in the school and was summoned, and I think the whole thing was made worse by a ref who got two involved with the crowd. They're not part of the game, and you don't want to bring them into it.
