Cheerleader interference

[bigdogrunnin]

In my neck of the woods, those pesky (although sometimes distracting) cheerleaders LOVE to get on the baseline. I simply walk over and say, "girls, I need you to stay over here." (And point to the corner.) If they start to inch down, I just do a little motion for them to move over as we come down in transition. They usually get it. As for the interference and technical foul . . . yeah, you can do that and you are covered by rule, but I would be hesitant (personally). Get it taken care of beforehand, and you won't have to deal with it after the fact. JMO
