Yelling In The Crowd (Another Official)

[OHBBREF]

Don't care who he is or about next Saturday, If he shouts my name while talking about calls from the stands it's personal and I hope the game is on the radio because that is the only way he is going to experience the end of it.
the administration would do it though I would not directly toss him.

As an official you are always an official when watching a game, you can root like a parent no problem, but you have to remember that people who know you, - know that you are an official so what you do is liable to come back and haunt you some time.

Even as a parent, he can disagree with a call, but to "call you out on it personally" that is classless, feel free to Puke in his shoes or shorts for that matter. As an official you have to remember that once people see you on the floor you will always be an official in their minds, so how you act will reflect upon everyone else in the profession.

I believe that you have to call him on it though, directly or with some association back up, it just gives us all one more black eye.

Think about the guys a couple of years ago in the locker room that said some inappropriate things that were over heard through an air duct that ended up getting suspended for a few games. More recently there were some guys who went out to have a burger and a beer after agame and there was some issue about something they said amoungst themselves.

I like the idea about bringing up how to deal with A$$ hole fans in your pregame especially if it is a three man crew to see how he responds.
