Why whack the head coach for a spectator making rude/lewd comments? Why tell a coach they'll have to forfeit the game due to a rude/lewd spectator?

I've seen both happen before. The coach technically isn't in control of the spectators yet they get reprimanded for it.

I guess this is kind of a rhetorical question.

There has to be some NFHS rule/regulation involved concerning the conduct of spectators, cheerleaders, band, dance/drill, and others not on the bench that if not followed that a coach can get penalized for it.

As I see/understand it, the announcer was showing unsportsmanlike behavior which could of resulted in the bench personnel, or the spectators in following his/her example.

Isn't the coach, overall, responsible for setting an example to not only his players, but also of the spectators of what good sportsmanship is?

Game Management has responsibility as well, don't get me wrong.
