I had a similar experience as a soccer referee. I had taken my Son's team to a tournament near Hopkinsville KY, we are from a suburb Northeast of Nashville TN. I had made arrangements to referee between the games I was coaching. One game I was assigned was the Host club's team vs a TN team from a suburb on the South side of Nashville. The home team was totally outplaying the TN team, soon parents and Coaches began the "Homer" crap. End result was the TN Coach was Dismissed from the technical area. I so, wanted show him and his team parents my TN Drivers License.

In Oregon, state law says that if someone is ejected from the facility by a sports official and they refuse to leave, they are trespassing and can be arrested. If it was this guy and he refused to go, I guess he'd have to arrest himself.

Actually, I think I saw Barney Fife do that once.

Most game administrators want to go home at a reasonable hour. If game doesn't start until the perp leaves, someone will figure it out and get him removed.

True story from a soccer game a couple of years ago.

I'm AR2 (the guy carrying the flag on the fan side) on senior night in rural Kentucky -- not far from Hopkinsville, incidentally. The park is an absolute bandbox; the concession stand is five feet from the touchline. The place is packed, the fans are loud, and the game is physical.

This is two days after Albert Haynesworth's face-stomping incident.

Well, one of the home team's seniors "goes Haynesworth" on an opposing player. Player is tossed, but the crowd goes ballistic -- even more so that usual for this notoriously-belligerent school.

It got so bad we had to toss the PA announcer who was actually complaining about calls into the microphone.

I'm so glad I don't work high school anymore.

I think a penalty for a T on a coach or for an unruly fan should be to wear a really ugly shirt that reads "I am a poo poo head" and to take over his (see below) responsiblity during the cherring festivities.

During the intermission between the first, and second, period, I seek out the captain and explain to her how to tell the difference between a thirty (shoulder tap), during which they are not allowed to come out onto the court, and a sixty (arms extended), during which they are allowed to come out onto the court. Cheerleading coach now gets involved in the discussion. She says, "We've been cheering during all timeouts all season long?". I reply, "Then you've been doing it wrong all season long". What's the citation for cheerleaders and timeouts? I hope that I did it correctly.

Rule 5 SECTION 11 CHARGED TIME-OUT
ART. 2 A single 30-second charged time-out shall not exceed 30 seconds. A warning signal for teams to prepare to be ready to resume play is sounded with 15 seconds remaining. No on-court entertainment should occur during this time.

Would this be the correct citation?
