The only thing an official can do is go to game management and ask that the offender be removed. If game management can't (or won't) remedy the situation, suspend the game and head to the official's room. Then get on the horn with the assignor/supervisor/etc.

I was figuring that the player couldn't be punished for actions beyond their control. Just like, technically as everyone on here says, a coach can't be punished for the actions of spectators. Just wanted the clarification.
