It was a little weird. Marquette took their players off the court while security removed the fan.

I think the officials handled the entire situation exactly right.

Perhaps "successful" would be a better choice of words there. The way that it reads now, one gets the impression that the author is expressing the opinion that the brother coming out onto the court during play was a positive thing. Obviously, that is not the case, but the idea is amusing.

PS
I think that opportunities for anyone on here to criticize the diction or sentence structure of mbyron are going to be very rare.
