Can you give a T for fan behavior

I think the point here is that the ADMINISTRATOR is throwing the fan out, not the official. I will NEVER be the one who does the tossing. I'll simply ask the administrator to do his/her job. Washes my hands of it completely.

Also, if filling out a form and being at a statewide meeting is the requirement, I think I'd just have to do that. I'm not about to let the integrity of a high school athletics contest be compromised by my lack of desire to fill out a few forms/go to a meeting.

Truth be told, though, how often do you/others have to toss fans? In 14 years of officiating football/baseball/basketball, I can count on 3 fingers the number of fans I've asked administrators to "evict."
