Ever Deal With Fans off-court? Do You Always Ignore On-Court?

[JoeT]

Years ago I was working a grade school game and had a section of fans giving me a bit of a hard time when I was at their end of the floor. At one point, during a dead ball, I joked (without turning back to them), "I'm going to have to get some of that popcorn after the game. One said, "you can smell that?" I replied, "sure, when you're this blind, all your other senses are heightened."

They laughed and left me alone the rest of the game.
